I Wish I Were In Love Again
Words & Music by Lorenz Hart & Richard Rodgers, 1937
Recorded by Frank Sinatra, 1957
AM7 A A9 A F#m Em6/9
The sleep - less nights, the dai - ly fights,
AM7 A A9 A F#m Em6/9
The quick to - bog - gan when you reach the heights;
AM7 A A9 A F#m Em6/9
I miss the kis - ses and I miss the bites --
D9 E7 A E7
I wish I were in love again.
AM7 A A9 A F#m Em6/9
The bro - ken dates, the end - less waits,
AM7 A A9 A F#m Em6/9
The love - ly lov - ing and the hate - ful hates,
AM7 A A9 A F#m Em6/9
The con - ver - sa - tion with the fly - ing plates --
D9 E7 A
I wish I were in love again.
Bm7-5 E7/6 A F#m Bm7-5 E7/6 A F#m
No more pain, no more strain,
C#7 F#7 B7 E7
Now I'm sane, but I would rather be punch-drunk.
AM7 A A9 A F#m Em6/9
The pulled out fur of cat and cur,
AM7 A A9 A F#m Em6/9
The fine mis-mat - ing of a him and her;
AM7 A A9 A F#m B7 D9 E7 A
I've learned my lesson but I wish I were in love a - gain
AM7 A A9 A F#m Em6/9
The fur - tive sigh, the black - ened eye,
AM7 A A9 A F#m Em6/9
The words: "I'll love you 'til the day I die,"
AM7 A A9 A F#m Em6/9
The self - de - cep - tion that be - lieves the lie --
D9 E7 A
I wish I were in love again.
AM7 A A9 A F#m Em6/9
When love con - geals, it soon re - veals
AM7 A A9 A F#m Em6/9
The faint a - ro - ma of per - form - ing seals,
AM7 A A9 A F#m Em6/9
The doub - le - cros - sing of a pair of heels --
D9 E7 A
I wish I were in love again
Bm7-5 E7/6 A F#m Bm7-5 E7/6 A F#m
No, no more care, no, no des - pair;
C#7 F#7 B7 E7
Now I'm all there now but I'd rather be punch-drunk.
AM7 A A9 A F#m Em6/9
Be - lieve me, sir, I much pre - fer
AM7 A A9 A F#m Em6/9
The clas - sic bat - tle of a him and her;
AM7 A A9 A F# B7
I don't like qui - et, and I wish I were
D9 E7 A F#m D9 E7 A F#m B7 E7 A6
In love a - gain, in love a - gain, in love a - gain.
Sinatra's version of this song came 20 years after its introduction in the 1937 show "Babes In Arms." Bobby Darin also did a great job with it another 10 years later.
