Lyrics Billie Holiday

Billie Holiday

I'm a Fool to Want You

B7 Cdim Em9 Em B+ Em7

I'm a fool to want you,

E7-9 Am Am+7

I'm a fool to want you,

To want a love that can't be true,

C7 Edim B7

A love that's there for others too.

B7 Cdim Em9 Em B+ Em7

I'm a fool to hold you,

E7-9 Am Am+7

Such a fool to hold you.

To seek a kiss not mine alone,

Bm7-9 B7 Em Em7

To share a kiss that Devil has known.

Am Am+7 D9 D7 G9 G6

Time and time again I said I'd leave you;

Am Am+7 D9 D7 G9 G6

Time and time again I went away.

Am B7 Em Em+7 Em7

But then would come the time when I would need you,

Edim C7 B7

And once again these words I had to say,

B7 Cdim Em9 Em B+ Em7

Taback, I love you;

E7-9 Am Am+7 Cdim

Pity me, I need you.

Em B+ Gdim Edim

I know it's wrong, it must be wrong,

B7 C7 B7 Em B+ Em7 Em6 Em9 Em

But right or wrong, I can't get along without you.
