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
