Intro: (Chords of 3rd line of verse) F Em Dm7 G
Verse
[G] [Am7] [G7] [C] [C7] [C] [G] [Am7] [D7] [Dm7] [G7] [Dm7] [G7]
I've grown ac - customed to her face, she almost makes my day begin,
[D#7] [F] [Em] [D7] [Dm7]
I've grown accustomed to the tune, she whistles night and noon,
[F] [Em] [Dm7] [G]
Her smiles, her frowns, her ups, her downs;
[D#7] [C] [C7] [C] [G] [Am7] [D7] [Dm7] [G7] [Dm7] [G7]
Are second nature to me now, like breathing out and breathing in,
[F] [Dm7] [C] [B7] [C] [Em7] [A]
I was serenely in - dependent and content before we met,
[Dm7] [F] [G7] [Bm7] [E7] [F] [Fm]
Surely I could always be that way again and yet;
[F] [D7] [Fm]
I've grown accustomed to her looks,
[C] [Em7] [D7] [Dm7] [Am7] [D7] [G7] [C]
Accustomed to her voice, accus – tomed to her face.
(Musical Interlude – 1st three lines of Verse)

(Continue with verse)
[D#7] [C] [C7] [C] [G] [Am7] [D7] [Dm7] [G7] [Dm7] [G7]
She’s second nature to me now, like breathing out and breathing in,
[F] [Dm7] [C] [B7] [C] [Em7] [A]
I'm very grateful she's a woman, and so easy to forget,
[Dm7] [F] [G7] [Bm7] [E7] [F] [Fm]
Rather like a habit one can always break and yet;
[F] [D7] [Fm]
I've grown accustomed to the trace,
[C] [Em7] [D7] [Dm7] [Am7] [D7] [G7] [C]
Or something in the air, accus – tomed, to her face.
Outro:
[Dm7] [Am7] [D7] [G7] [C]
