What Will I Tell My Heart
Words & Music by Irving Gordon, Jack Lawrence & Peter Tinturin
Recorded by Eddy Howard, 1951
Cdim A E7 A Am A7/9 A7
I'll try to explain to friends, dear,
A D6 Bm7 Dm6
The reason we two are apart.
A F#m C#m7 Gdim B7
I know what to tell our friends, dear,
E7/6 Edim E7/6 A6 Fdim E7
But what can I tell my heart?
Cdim A E7 A Am A7/9 A7
It's ea - sy to say to strangers
A D6 Bm7 Dm6
That we played a game from the start;
A F#m C#m7 Gdim D B7
It's ea - sy to lie to strangers,
E7/6 Edim E7/6 E D9 Bm7-5 A
But why tell a lie to your heart?
Bridge:
A Am A7/9 A Am A7/9 A
When I smile to hide all the tears inside,
Edim A7 D Em7 Edim A7 D
What an ache it will bring;
Gdim B7 B7/F# Gdim B7 B7/F#
Then I'll wander home to a telephone
E A Gdim Cdim
That forgot how to ring.
A E7 A Am A7/9 A7
I could say you'll soon be back, dear,
A D6 Bm7 Dm6
To fool the whole town may be smart;
A F#m C#m7 Gdim B7
I'll tell them you'll soon be back, dear,
E7/6 Edim E7/6 E A D9 Bm7-5 A
But what can I tell my heart?
