C C7M C7/9+ C7M D5-/7
Love is like a never-ending melody;
Dm7 G7 G/Bb A7/9- A7
Poets have compared it to a symphony,
Dm7 G/Bb A7M C#m7
A symphony conducted by the lighting of the moon
Dm Dm 7 Dm7 Bb9 G7
But our song of love is slightly out of tune.
C C7M C7/9+ C7M D5-/7
Once your kisses raised me to a fever pitch;
Dm7 G7 G/Bb A7
Now the orchestration doesn't seem so rich.
Dm7 G/Bb AM7 C#m7
Seems to me you've changed the tune we used to sing;
Bridge:
Dm7 Bb9 Am7 B7
Like the bossa nova, love should swing.
E C#m7 C#m5-/7 F#m7 B7
We used to harmonize, two souls in perfect time;
E C#m7 C#m5-/7 F#m7 B7
Now the song is diff'rent and the words don't even rhyme,
F7 G Fdim Am7 D9
'Cause you forgot the melody our hearts would always croon,
Dm Dm7 Dm7 Bb9 G7
And so what good's a heart that's slightly out of tune?
C C7M C7/9+ C7M D5-/7
Tune your heart to me the way it used to be;
Dm7 G7 G/Bb A7/9- A7
Join with me in harmony and sing a song of loving.
F7M Bb9 Em7 Cdim
We're bound to get in tune again before too long
D7
There'll be no desafinado
Bb9 Dm5-/7
When your heart belongs to me completely,
D7 Dm7
So you won't be slightly out of tune,
G7 C9 C
You'll sing along with me.
