(N.C. Cdim  C       C/B  A7sus      A7                 Dm   Dm+7   Fm
Kiss today good-bye,           the sweetness and the sorrow;

        Fdim      C    Em7 Am7  Am7/G   D9
Wish me luck, the same to  you.

               Dm                  Fm7         Fdim      G
But I can't regret what I did for love, what I did for love.


(N.C.)    Cdim      C  C/B A7sus      A7              Dm     Dm+7   Fm
Look...my eyes are dry;          the gift was ours to borrow,

       Fdim   C  Em7   Am7   Am7/G  D9
It's as if we al-ways knew,

              Dm7                  Fm7        Fdim      G
And I won't forget what I did for love, what I did for love.

Gone?      Love is never gone.

B7           Em   B+   Em7  G           A7     Fdim  G
As we travel on,           love's what we'll re-mem-ber.


(N.C.)           C   C/B  A7sus    A7                 Dm   Dm+7   Fm
Kiss today good-bye,           and point me toward tomorrow.

       Fdim G   C  Em7 Am7   Am7/G   D9
We did what we had to  do.

           F           Fm         Dm7  G7  C    CM7   C7
Won't forget, can't regret what I did for love.
