This is the 1st song Lauren Bacall sings in "To Have and To Have Not", the movie where Bogie met Bacall.
Music: Hoagy Carmichael. He's in the movie as the piano player Cricket. It's a fav.
Lyrics: Johnny Mercer
Here's Lauren singing it in Bb: https://youtu.be/2oD10IM40_0
Here's Nat King Cole singing it in F: https://youtu.be/2oD10IM40_0
Nat adds 2 lines to the outro that I incorporated.
Here's me doing the tab in F: https://youtu.be/VS3_PelimN0
I think I got most of the walkdown/ups in the bridge, suggested corrections would be welcome.
I wasn't going to put this in my setlists, but it is surprisingly fun to sing.

Verse
[Fmaj7] [Fmaj7/C] [Fmaj7] [Fmaj7/C]
Maybe it happens this way
[Fmaj7] [Fmaj7/C] [Fmaj7] [F#dim]
Maybe we really belong together
[Gm7] [C7] [Gm7] [C7] [Gm7] [C7] [Gm7] [C7]
But after all, how little we know
Verse
[Fmaj7] [Fmaj7/C] [Fmaj7] [Fmaj7/C]
Maybe it's just for a day
[Fmaj7] [Fmaj7/C] [Fmaj7] [F#dim]
Love is as changeable as the weather
[Gm7] [C13] [Gm7] [C13] [Gm7] [C13] [Gm7] [C13]
And after all, how little we know
Bridge
[Am7] [Abm7] [Gm7] [Gm7-5] [Fmaj7] [F7] [F6] [F+5]
Who knows why an A----pril breeze never remains
[Em7] [Em6] [Em+5] [A9] [Dmaj7] [D7] [D6] [D7]
Why stars in the trees hide when it rains
[F7sus4] [F7sus2] [Fm7] [F7] [Bbmaj7] [Bb7] [Bb6] [Bbmaj7]
Love comes along, casting a spell
[Bm7-5] [E7-9]
Will it sing you a song
[Gm7]
Will it say a farewell
[C9] [C9] [C9] N.C.
Who can tell
Verse
[Fmaj7] [Fmaj7/C] [Fmaj7] [Fmaj7/C]
Maybe you're meant to be mine
[Fmaj7] [Fmaj7/C] [Fmaj7] [F#dim]
Maybe I'm only supposed to stay in your
[Gm7] [C7] [Gm7] [C7] [Gm7] [C7] [Gm7] [C7]
Arms a while As others have done
Outro
[Am7] [Abm7] [Gm7] [Gm7-5] [Fmaj7] [F7] [F6] [F+5]
Is this what I've wai--ted for, am I the one
[Gm7] [C7] [Fmaj7] [Dm7]
Oh, I hope in my heart that it's so
[Gm7-5] [C13] [Fmaj7] [C11]
In spite of how little we know

Well now maybe you’re meant to be mine
[Gm7-5] [C13] [Fmaj7] [Dm7]
And to have you would really be fine
