Intro: D D7M D6 Fdim F#m F#m7+ F#m7 B7/9-
A F#m
The night is like a lovely tune
D9 E7
Beware my foolish heart
A7M F#m
How white the ever distant moon
D9 E7
Take care, my foolish heart
A A7M A7
There's a line between love and fascination
D D7M D6 Fdim
That's so hard to see on evenings such as this
F#m F#m7+ F#m7
For they both give the very same sensation
D9 Bm5-/7 E7
When you are lost in the magic of a kiss
A F#m7
Her lips are much too close to mine
D9 E7
Beware my foolish heart
A7M F#m
But should our eager lips combine,
D9 A7/13
Then let the fire start
E7 F#m F#m7+ F#m7 Dm6
For this time it isn't fascination
A A7M F#7
Or a dream that will fade and fall apart
D B7 D9 Bm5-/7 A A7M/9
It's love this time, it's love, my foolish heart
