You Will Be My Music

Words & Music by Joe Raposo
Recorded by Frank Sinatra, 1973


F#m                    A+5
When all the songs are out of tune,

A                            Cdim(IV)
And all the rhymes ring so untrue;

DM7                    C#m7
When I don't find the words to say -

     Bm7                E7           D
The thoughts I long to bring to you;

C#7 F#m             C#m            F#m             C#m
When I hear lonely singers who are just as lost as me -

G                 Bm7       E  Fdim
Making noise, not melody:


Refrain:

D              C#m   F#m  D   Bm7     Fdim E7   A
You will be my music,     you     will be  my song.

D   Bm7 E7            C#m7 C#m7-5  F#7
You        will be my music;

 Bm7             Fdim   E7       A
I can't wait any longer if I'm wrong.


F#m                 A+5  
I'll never find the song to tell me

A                       Cdim(IV)
All the things I need to say.

DM7               C#m7
And I'm afraid as time goes by

     Bm7                 E7   D   
That someday soon you'll go away.

C#7 F#m              C#m         F#m             C#m
And I'll be lost and trying for songs I'll never sing.

G             Bm7     E
Wanting you is everything:

D              C#m   F#m  D   Bm7     Fdim E7   A
You will be my music,     you     will be  my song.

D   Bm7 E7            C#m7 C#m7-5  F#7
You        will be my music;

 Bm7             Fdim   E7       A    C#m7-5   F#7
I can't wait any longer if I'm wrong,

  Bm7            Fdim   E7       A    F     AM7
I can't wait any longer if I'm wrong.
