DM7      D6       D9     Dm7
It isn't fair for you to taunt me,

A9       A  C#m    C#m7-5     F#7
How can you make me care this way?

Bm  Bm7          Bm7/F#   E7
It isn't fair for you to want me,

D9      E7      E7+5  A   AM7  A7
If it's just for a   day.


DM7      D6       D9     Dm7
It isn't fair for you to thrill me --

A9      A  C#m    C#m7-5     F#7
Why do you do the things you do?

Bm  Bm7          Bm7/F#   E7
It isn't fair for you to fill me

D9          E7   Bm7-5  E7    E7+5  A   G#7
With those dreams that can't come true, dear.


C#m       G#7          Bm7
Why is it you came into my life 

     E     F#7     B7
And made it   complete?

 E   B7     Cdim    B7       A
You gave me just a taste of high life,

    E           C#m7           B7
If this is love,     then I repeat:


DM7      D6       D9     Dm7
It isn't fair for you to taunt me,

A9       A  C#m    C#m7-5     F#7
How can you make me care this way?

Bm  Bm7          Bm7/F#   E7
It isn't fair for you to want me,

D9       E7  Bm7-5 E7 E7+5   A   
If it's just  for      to - day.
