Frank Sinatra – For a While
Eb         Am7b5      Ab6   Bbsus4        Bb
   Lost in day to day,   turn another way
       Eb       Gm
With a laugh, a kind hello
           Fm7      Bbsus4       Bb
Some small talk with those I know
     F7               Fm7/Bb    Bb
I forget that I'm not over you
     Eb      Ab/F    Ab     Ab/Bb  Bb
For a while 
Eb           Am7b5
   A wave, an easy grin
Ab6        Bbsus4         Bb
    A smile to put them in
     Eb             Gm
With other lives to listen to
         Fm7      Bbsus4      Bb
And some work, I've got to do
     F7               Fm7/Bb    Bb
I forget that I'm not over you
     Eb      Ab/F    Ab     Ab/Bb  Bb
For a while 
Ab      Gm         Ab       Bb
Days go by with no empty feeling
Ab       Gm   Cm           Fm    Fm7/C   Bb
   Until I remember you're gone
Eb        Am7b5     Ab6        Bbsus4     Bb
   People say to me,   "You need company"
Eb                  Gm
When you have some time to spend
       Fm7      Bbsus4        Bb
Drop around and meet a friend
       F7                Fm7/Bb    Bb
They forget that I'm not over you
      Eb      Ab/F    Ab     Ab/Bb  Bb
For a while 
         F7              Fm7/Bb    Bb
They forget that I'm not over you
     Eb      Ab/F    Ab     Ab/Bb  Bb
For a while
