Standard (EADGBE)

 I'm in love with the city. I'm in love with the boy.

 Gotta put it on record. Gotta write a new song.

 There ain't no way around it, he's in love with another girl

 I'm a wreck, I'll admit it. I can't eat when he's near.

 And I'm so tired and nervous that you better stay clear.

 Leave me to the company of me if I can't have him

 I'm trying to be tender. I'm trying to be cool.

 I laugh at my own jokes. I laugh like a fool.

 There ain't no doubt about it.

 He's in with his life-long girl

What chance do I have? A cat's chance in hell.

 I better take it

 I'm going to write him a letter, gonna put it in words.

 Gonna make it official. Gonna make it absurd.

 Hold up then, there a second, girl.

 You'll spoil what you have to do

 They're a sweet loving couple. How could you come between?

 All the talk and the tenderness, the love and the feeling

 His eyes start to sparkle--sparks for the other girl.

 I'm in love with his face. I'm in love with his eyes.

 I could eat them for breakfast. Boy, would he be surprised.

 If he knew how I felt, it would spoil any chance I had.

What chance is that? It’s a cat's chance in hell.

 I better take it

Here’s something you can play for the intro and the bridge.

It’s not exactly what all those horns are playing, but it will do.
