Billie Holiday - Foolin' Myself
(Jack Lawrence, Peter Tinturin)
A7 D FdimI tell myself I'm through with love,
D F#7 B7That I'll have nothing more to Do with love,
G Edim D B7I stay away, but every day
G G/F# Em7 G/B A7I'm just foolin' myself.
A7 D FdimI tell myself that I don't care,
D F#7 Gdim B7I shrug my shoulders at the whole affair,
G Edim D B7But they all know it isn't so,
Em7 A7/6 DI'm just foolin' myself.
Edim B7 Gdim B7And ev'ry time I pass
Cdim Em B7 EmAnd see his face in the looking glass,
B7 Em Cdim E7 A7 Cdim A7I tip my hat and say "How Do you do, you fool?
G/B A G/B Cdim A7You're throwing your life away."
A7 D FdimI'm acting gay, I'm acting proud,
D F#7 B7And every time I see you in a crowd,
G Edim D B7I just want to shout out loud
Em7 A7/6 DI'm just foolin' myself.
