[Verse 1]
G9 Cmaj7 Am7 Dm7 G7
I've flown around the world in a plane;
Bm7 E7 Am7 D13 D9
I've settled revolutions in Spain;
G9 Cmaj7 Am7
The north pole I have charted,
Dm7 G7b9 E7#5 A7b9 D9
But can't get started with you.
[Verse 2]
G7b9 Cmaj7 Am7 Dm7 G7
Around the golf course, I'm under par,
G7b9 E7 Am7 D13 G7
And all the movies want me to star;
G7b9 Cmaj7 Am7 Dm7
I've got a house, a show place,
A7b9 Dm7 G7b9 Cmaj7
But I get no place with you.
[Bridge]
Cmaj7 Em9 A9 Em7 A7
You're so supreme, lyrics I write of you,
Dmaj7
Scheme just for a sight of you,
Dm9 G9
Dream both day and night of you,
Em7 Ebdim Dm7 Gsus G7
And what good does it do?
[Verse 3]
G7b9 Cmaj7 Am7 Dm7 G7
In nineteen twenty-nine, I sold short;
Bm7 E7 Am7 D13 D9 D7b9
In England, I'm presented at court,
G9 Cmaj7 Am7
But you've got me down-hearted,
Dm7 G7b9 E7#5 Cmaj7
'Cause I can't get started with you.

And what good does it do?
[Outro]
G9 Cmaj7 Am7 Dm7 G7
In nineteen twenty-nine, I sold short;
Bm7 E7 Am7 D13 D9 D7b9
In England, I'm presented at court,
G9 Cmaj7 Am7
But you've got me down-hearted,
Dm7 G7b9 E7#5
'Cause I can't get started with you.
