Intro

[G] [C] [G] [Dm] [D]

Verse 1

[G] [Em] [Am7] [D]

A cigarette that bears a lipstick's traces

[G] [Em] [Am7] [D]

An airline ticket to romantic places

[G] [C] [E]

And still my heart has wings

[A7] [D] [C] [D]

These foolish things remind me of you

Verse 2

[G] [Em] [Am7] [D]

A tinkling piano in the next apartment

[G] [Em] [A7] [D7]

Those stumbling words that told you what my heart meant

[G] [C] [E]

A fairground's painted swings

[A7] [D] [G] [F#7]

These foolish things remind me of you

Bridge 1

[Bm] [Em] [F#7] [Bm] [Em] [F#7] [A] [D]

You came, you saw, you conquered me

[Bm] [Em] [A7]

When you did that to me

[D] [Am7] [D]

I knew somehow this had to be yeah

Verse 3

[G] [Em] [Am7] [D]

The winds of March that make my heart a dancer

[G] [Em] [A7] [D]

A telephone that rings but who's to answer?

[G] [C] [Bm] [E]

Oh, how the ghost of you clings

[A7] [D] [G]

These foolish things remind me of you

Verse 4

[A] [D]

Let me tell you

[G] [Em] [A7] [D]

First daffodils and long excited cables

[G] [Em] [A7] [D]

And candlelights on little corner tables

[G] [C] [E]

And still my heart has wings

[A7]

These foolish things

[A] [D]

Remind me of you

Verse 5

[G] [Em] [Am7] [D]

The park at evening and the scent of roses

[G] [Em] [A7] [D7]

And waiters whistling as the last bar closes

[G] [C] [E] [A7]

And a beauty that is spring, springs

[A7] [D]

These foolish things

[G] [F#]

Remind me of you

Bridge 2

[Bm] [Em] [F#7] [Bm] [Em] [F#7] [A] [D]

How strange, how sweet, to find you still

[Bm] [Em] [A7]

These things are dear to me

[D] [Am7]

They seem to bring you near to me

[D]

Yeah Yeah

Verse 6

[G] [Em] [Am7] [D]

The sigh of midnight trains in empty stations

[G] [Em] [Am7] [D7]

Silk stockings thrown aside dance invitations

[G] [Am] [A7]

Oh how the ghost of you clings

[D]

These foolish things

[C] [E]

Remind me of you

[Am] [D]

These foolish things

[G] [G#] [G]

Remind me of you
