You Call It Madness (But I Call It Love)
Words & Music by Russ Columbo, Con Conrad, Gladys Dubois & Paul Gregory
Recorded by Nat King Cole, 1942*
B7 AM7 D9
I can't forget the night I met you,
E7/9 A7 G#m7 C#7
That's all I'm thinking of;
F#m7 Fdim(III) F#m7
And now you call it madness,
B7 E A7 E B7
But I call it love.
B7 AM7 D9
You made a promise to be faithful
E7/9 A7 G#m7 C#7
By all the stars above;
F#m7 Fdim(III) F#m7
And now you call it madness,
E A7 E E7
I still call it love.
Bridge:
Bm7-5 E7 Bm7-5 E7
My heart is beating, it keeps on repeating
A C#7 A
For you constantly.
G#m7 C#7 G#m7 C#7
You're all I'm needing, and so I'm pleading,
F#m7 D9 B7
"Please come back to me!"
B7 AM7 D9
You made a plaything out of romance!
E7/9 A7 G#m7 C#7
What do you know of love?
F#m7 Fdim(III) F#m7
That's why you call it madness,
B7 E A7 E B7
But I call it love.
*If you haven't heard it, Diana Krall's version of this one on her 1995 Nat King Cole tribute album "All For You" is awesome - as is the whole CD.
