To you
G7 C Am Dm7
My heart cries out "Perfidia,"
G7 C Am
For I found you, the love of my life,
Dm7 G7 E7
In somebody else's arms.
G7 C Am Dm7
Your eyes
G7 C Am Dm7
Are echoing "Perfidia,"
G7 C Am
Forgetful of our promise of love,
Dm7 G7 E7
You're sharing another's charms.
Bridge:
Dm Dm7
With a sad lament, my dreams
F Dm7 E7
Have faded like a broken melody;
Dm F
While the gods of love look down and laugh
D Dm7 Bb9 E7
At what romantic fools we mortals be.
G7 C Am Dm7
And now
G7 C Am Dm7
I know my love was not for you
G7 C Am
And so I'll take it back with a sigh,
Dm7 G7 C Fdim C
Perfidious one, good-bye.
