[Verse 1]

G
I came in from the outside
G
Burnt out from the joy ride
G               D             C
She likes to roll here in my ashes anyway
G
Played from the bedside
G
Is "Stella By Starlight"
G         D
"That Was My Heart"...
               C                    Em
The drums that start off "Night And Day"


[Pre-Chorus 1]

Em              Bm      C          G
The same kind of music haunts her bedroom
Em         D          C
I'm almost me again, she's almost you


[Chorus]

Em     C         G
I wouldn't know where to start
         Bm   C                G
"Sweet Music" playing "In The Dark"
Em  Bm       G
Be still "My Foolish Heart,"
D                  G
Don't ruin this on me
   Em     C         G
I wouldn't know where to start
         Bm   C                G
"Sweet Music" playing "In The Dark"
Em  Bm       G
Be still "My Foolish Heart,"
D                  G
Don't ruin this on me


[Verse 2]

G
Tell me who, and I'll be thanking them
            C
The numbered lovers of Duke Ellington
      Em       D                       C
Do I owe each kiss to lip and cheek as soft
                 G
As Chet can sing "Let's Get Lost"

And "Let The Good Times Roll"
C    G
Let "Smoke Rings" from this "Paper, Doll"
       Em        D
Blow sweet and thick 'til every thought of
C
"It Don't Mean A Thing"


[Pre-Chorus 2]

Em             Bm           C              G
I've got some colour back, she thinks so, too
   Em         D                    C
I laugh like me again, she laughs like you


[Chorus]

Em     C         G
I wouldn't know where to start
         Bm   C                G
"Sweet Music" playing "In The Dark"
Em  Bm       G
Be still "My Foolish Heart,"
D                  G
Don't ruin this on me
   Em     C         G
I wouldn't know where to start
         Bm   C                G
"Sweet Music" playing "In The Dark"
Em  Bm       G
Be still "My Foolish Heart,"
D                  G
Don't ruin this on me


[Bridge]

G                Em
I wouldn't know where
C               G
I wouldn't know where
G
I wouldn't know where, I wouldn't know where
C             G
I wouldn't
G
I wouldn't know where
C                Em
I wouldn't know where
G
I wouldn't know where, I wouldn't know where
              D
I wouldn't know


[Verse 3]

                      G
"The Very Thought Of You" and "Am I Blue"?
    C
"A Love Supreme" seems far removed
         D                       C
"I Get Along Without You Very Well," some other nights
     G    D
The radio news reader chimes
    C
Reporting "Russian Lullabies"
         C      D                    C
She'll turn to me awake and ask, Is everything "Alright"


[Chorus]

Em     C         G
I wouldn't know where to start
         Bm   C                G
"Sweet Music" playing "In The Dark"
Em  Bm       G
Be still "My Foolish Heart,"
D                  G
Don't ruin this on me
   Em     C         G
I wouldn't know where to start
         Bm   C                G
"Sweet Music" playing "In The Dark"
Em  Bm       G
Be still "My Foolish Heart,"
D                  G
Don't ruin this on me


[Chorus]

Em     C         G
I wouldn't know where to start
         Bm   C                G
"Sweet Music" playing "In The Dark"
Em  Bm       G
Be still "My Foolish Heart,"
D                  G
Don't ruin this on me
   Em     C         G
I wouldn't know where to start
         Bm   C                G
"Sweet Music" playing "In The Dark"
Em  Bm       G
Be still "My Foolish Heart,"
