Things

Words & Music by Bobby Darin
Recorded by Bobby Darin, 1962 (#3)


C      C/B    Am7      Am7/G   C      Dm7 G7
Ev'ry night I sit here  by my window,

C       C/B     Am7  Am7/G   G   D7   G7
Staring at the lonely ave - nue,

C                C7               F         Fm
Watching lovers holding hands and laughing,

C          C/B      Dm7      G       C     F     C    C/B
Thinkin' about the things we used to do.             Thinkin' 'bout


Refrain:

G                G7              C
Things, like a walk in the park, things, like a kiss in the dark,

G               G7           C  (N.C.)
Things, like a sailboat ride -- what about the night we cried?

F              Fm          C      C/B        Am7     Am7/G
Things like a lover's vow, things    that we don't do now,

F          Dm7      G        G7      C     F    C    G7
Thinkin' 'bout the things we used to do.



C     C/B      Am7   Am7/G   C         Dm7  G
Mem-o-ries are all I have to cling to,

     C         C/B     Am7         Am7/G   G    D7   G7
And heartaches are the friends I'm talkin' to;

      C                  C7               F        Fm
When I'm not thinkin' of just how much I love you,

     C        C/B      Dm7        G      C     F     C    C/B
I'm thinkin' about the things we used to do.            Thinkin' 'bout



Repeat Refrain:


   C        C/B      Am7     Am7/G   C       Dm7   G
I still can hear the jukebox softly playin',

         C     C/B      Am7    Am7/G    G    D7   G7
And the face I see each day belongs to you;

                C           C7                 F                   Fm
Though there's not a single sound, and there's nobody else around,

               C      C/B                Dm7       G        C   F   C   C/B
Well, there's just me thinkin' 'bout the things we used to do.



Repeat Refrain:


Coda:

          C         C/B     Dm7         G        C     F     C   C/B
 And the heartaches are the friends I'm talkin' to,

 C         C/B       Dm7      G       C       F       C      C/B
 Thinkin' 'bout the things we used to do,

 C       C/B    Dm7    G     C     F    C       
 Starin' at the lonely av-e-nue.
