Why do I sigh
Fm7         A#7       D#
Why don't I try to forget

It must have been that something
A#m7        D#9
lovers call fate
G#maj7    G#m7 D#/G       B/F#
Kept me saying "I have to wait"
Cm7-5/F#     F7
I saw them all
Cm7-5/F#      F7           A#6
Just couldn't fall 'til we met

Could make me be true,

And even be   glad Just to be sad
F9          Fm9 G#maj9 A#7
Thinking of you

                 D#maj7
Some others I've seen
      C#9        C7
Might never been mean
               F9         Cm11/F     F9
Might never be crossed or try to be bossed
    Cm11          F9
But they wouldn't do
    D#7    G#maj7
For nobody else
          G#m6/9
Gave me a thrill

It had to be you
Wonderful you

It had to be you
