Em Bm C G Em Bm C G Em Bm C G
Am Bm G

[Verse 1]
G                          C
 I came in from the outside
G
 Burnt out from the joy ride
Em            D                 C
  She likes to roll here in my ashes anyway
G                       C
 Played from the bedside
G
 Is "Stella By Starlight"
Em            D
  "That Was My Heart"
                    C
The drums that start off "Night And Day"

[Pre-Chorus]
Em7              Bm      C              G
   The same kind of music haunts her bedroom
Em          D         C
  I'm almost me again, she's almost you

[Chorus]
Em Bm         C          G
  I  wouldn't know where to start
Em       Bm   C      G
"Sweet Music" playing "In The Dark"
Em   Bm       C   G
  Be still "My Foolish Heart"
        Am      Bm   G
Don't ruin this on me
Em Bm         C          G
  I  wouldn't know where to start
Em       Bm   C      G
"Sweet Music" playing "In The Dark"
Em   Bm       C   G
  Be still "My Foolish Heart"
        Am      Bm   G
Don't ruin this on me

[Verse 2]
        G
Tell me who, and I'll be thanking them
C            G
The numbered lovers of Duke Ellington
        Em          D                       C
Do I owe  each kiss to lip and cheek as soft
                                 G
As Chet can sing "Let's Get Lost" And "Let The Good Times
Roll"
C
    G
Let "Smoke Rings" from this "Paper,
Doll"
    Em                D
Blow  sweet and thick 'til every thought of
   C
"It Don't Mean A Thing"

[Pre-Chorus]
Em7              Bm          C
   I've got some colour back, she thinks so,
G
 too
Em            D
  I laugh like me again,
C
 she laughs like you

[Chorus]
Em Bm         C          G
  I  wouldn't know where to start
Em       Bm   C      G
"Sweet Music" playing "In The Dark"
Em   Bm       C   G
  Be still "My Foolish Heart"
        Am      Bm   G
Don't ruin this on me
Em Bm         C          G
  I  wouldn't know where to start
Em       Bm   C      G
"Sweet Music" playing "In The Dark"
Em   Bm       C   G
  Be still "My Foolish Heart"
        Am      Bm   G
Don't ruin this on me

[Bridge]
G D         Em
 I wouldn't know where
C               G
 I wouldn't know where
G D         Em
 I wouldn't know where,
                C               G
I wouldn't know where I wouldn't
G Am         Bm
 I  wouldn't know where
Em Bm             C
  I  wouldn't know where
Em Bm         C
  I  wouldn't know where,
G               Am     D
I wouldn't know where I
         G
wouldn't know

[Verse 3]
         G                                C
"The Very Thought Of You" and "Am I Blue"?
G
"A Love Supreme" seems far removed
Em             D                C
  "I Get Along Without You Very Well" some other nights
    G                       C
The radio news reader chimes
  G
Reporting "Russian Lullabies"
       Em              D
She'll turn to me awake and ask,
   C
Is everything "Alright"

[Chorus]
Em Bm         C          G
  I  wouldn't know where to start
Em       Bm   C      G
"Sweet Music" playing "In The Dark"
Em   Bm       C   G
  Be still "My Foolish Heart"
        Am      Bm   G
Don't ruin this on me
Em Bm         C          G
  I  wouldn't know where to start
Em       Bm   C      G
"Sweet Music" playing "In The Dark"
Em   Bm       C   G
  Be still "My Foolish Heart"
        Am      Bm   G
Don't ruin this on me
Em Bm         C          G
  I  wouldn't know where to start
Em       Bm   C      G
"Sweet Music" playing "In The Dark"

  Be still "My Foolish Heart"
        Am      Bm   G
Don't ruin this on me
Em Bm         C          G
  I  wouldn't know where to start
Em       Bm   C      G
"Sweet Music" playing "In The Dark"
Em   Bm       C   G
  Be still "My Foolish Heart"
        Am      Bm   G
Don't ruin this on me
