Intro Verse:

A           F#m                D9
We used to dwell in love's own palace,

  E          Em7-5  E7    A
A palace of dreams come true;

A                F#m              G#7
Now that we're through, I bear no malace --

             C#m         G#m7  E7  Bm7-5 Cdim  E7 E7/6
Though we've called it a day,  all   I   can  say, is


 A9        D6      Fdim       A          F#7      D9 Cdim   F#7
Thanks for all the lovely delights I've found in your em - brace;

    D6        Bm7-5    Dm6       D9    E7/6 Fdim   A  F#7   Dm6  E7
I'm thankful, though I know it's ending all  too soon.


E7/6  A9       D6         Fdim            A      F#7   D9 Cdim   F#7
And thanks for un - for - get - a - ble nights I never can re - place,

     D6      Bm7-5  Dm6   D9    E7/6  Fdim      A  F#7   D  Dm6   A
And mem - o - ries that linger like a haunting tune.



Bridge:

AM7  C#7             G#7                  C#7
It is better to have loved you, Dear, and lost,

     D9   Cdim     Dm6   E7  A
Than never to have loved at all;

AM7      C#7             F#m             Cdim
Yes, it's better, for no matter what the cost,

  E        Bm7-5    Fdim      D9     Dm6   E7
I held the world in sway, an emperor for a day.


E7/6 A9      D6      Fdim      A      F#7     D9  Cdim  F#7
And thanks again for taking me on the road to par - a - dise;

    D6    Bm7-5   Dm6     D9       E7/6 Fdim  D5  Dm6   A   
We lost our way, still I must con - vey  my thanks.
