[Verse 1]
F#6     D#m7               G#m9       C#7
A cigarette that bears a lipstick´s traces,
F#6        D#m7        G#9     C#7
An airline ticket to romantic places,
F#9          F#7+5     B6
And still my heart has wings --
D#7            G#7      C#7       G#m7    C#7
These foolish things remind me of you.
[Verse 2]
F#6     D#m7               G#m9       C#7
A tinkling piano in the next apartment,
F#6             D#m7                G#9           C#7
Those stumblin´ words that told you what my heart meant,
  F#9         F#7+5      B6
A fairground´s painted swings --
D#7            G#7      C#7       G#m7    C#7  F7
These foolish things remind me of you.
[Bridge]
Bbm7     Ebm6    F9  Bbm               Bbm7
You came,   you saw,     you conquered me;
Db    Bbm7    Ebm7     Ab9
When you did that to me,
   Db7      Edim     Abm7   Db7
I knew somehow this had to be.
[Verse 3]
F#6           D#m7              G#m9     C#7
The winds of March that make my heart a dancer,
F#6              D#m7      G#9       C#7
A telephone that rings but who´s to answer?
  F#9         F#7+5      Bmaj7
Oh, how the ghost of you clings --
 D#7          G#7       C#7       F    Edim   G#m7   C#7
These foolish things remind me of you.
[Instrumental Break]

F#6  D#m7  G#9  C#7
F#9  F#7+5  Bmaj7
D#7  G#7  C#7   G#m7  C#7 F7
[Bridge]
Bbm7          Ebm6    F9  Bbm              Bbm7
How strange,    how sweet,    to find you still!
Db    Bbm7        Ebm7   Ab9
These things are dear to me;
      Db7      Edim     Abm7   Db7
They seem to bring you near to me.
[Verse 4]
F#6           D#m7            G#m9   C#7
The sigh of midnight trains in empty stations
F#6                    D#m7       G#9       C#7
Silk stockings thrown aside, dance in-vi-ta-tions
F#9         F#7+5        Bmaj7
Oh, how the ghost of you clings --
D#7            G#7    C#7         F    B    F#
These foolish things remind me of you.
