      A+      Dm
I'm a fool to want you
      D7      Gm       Gm7 Gm6
I'm a fool to want you
           A#    F6             Bm7
To want a love    that can't be true
              A#7               A
A love that's there for others too

I'm a fool to hold you
Such a fool to hold you
To seek a kiss not mine alone
             Dm      A7        Dm
To share a kiss the devil has known

Gm  Gmmaj7 Gm7   Gm6
Time   and time again
G7         Fmaj7    F7 F6
I said I'd leave you
Gm  Gmmaj7 Gm7   Gm6
Time   and time again
  C7    Fmaj7
I went away
    Em7                  A7
But then would come the time
             Dm        Dm7 
When I would need you
    Bdim                                A7
And once again these words I'd have to say
Take me back, I love you
Pity me, I need you
I know it's wrong, it must be wrong
             A#7
But right or wrong
             A7  A#7 C7 Em7 A7
I can't get along
        Dm
Without you
