Lyrics
(Am)Why did I wander (Dm7)here and there and yonder,
(C)wasting precious (Dm)(G7)time (C)for no reason or (F)(G)rhyme?
(B7)Isn't it a pity?
were (Bb)Isn't it a (A)crime?
(D9)My journey's ended;
(Dm7)ev'rything is splendid.
(C)Meeting you (Am6)(B)today (Em)has given me a (A)wonderful idea,
(D7sus)here (D7)I (Dm7)stay!
(C)It's a funny (F)thing;
I look at (Em)(A7)you, I get a (Dm)(G7)thrill I never knew.
(C)Isn't it a pity (F)we (C)never (Dm7)met (F)(C)before?
(C)Here we are at (F)last!
It's like a (Em)(A7)dream!
The two of (Dm)(G7)us, a perfect team!
(C)Isn't it a pity (F)we (C)never (Dm7)met (F)(C)before?
(C)(Dm)Imagine all (Am6)the (Em)lonely years we've (B)wasted:
(Em)you, with the neighbors,
(A7)I, my silly labors.
(G)What joys (D)untasted.
(G7)You, reading Heine,
(F9)I, somewhere in China.
(C)Happiest of men (F)I'm sure to be,
(A7)if only you (Dm)(G7)will say to me,
(C)"It's an awful pity we (Fmaj7)never,
(Em7)never (Dm7)met (G)(C)before."
(C)It's a funny thing;
(F)I look at you, (Em)(A7)I get a thrill (Dm)(G7)I never knew.
(C)Isn't it a pity (F)we (C)never (Dm7)met (F)(C)before?
(C)Here we are at last!
(F)It's like a dream!
(A7)The two of us, (Dm)(G7)a perfect team!
(C)Isn't it a pity (F)we (C)never (Dm7)met (F)(C)before?
(C)(Dm)Imagine all (Am6)the (Em)lonely years we've (B)wasted:
(Em)you, with the neighbors,
(A7)I, my silly labors.
(G)What joys (D)untasted.
(G7)You, reading Heine,
(F9)I, somewhere in China.
(C)Let's forget the past, (F)let's both (Em)(A7)agree that I'm for (Dm)(G7)you and you're for me,
(C)and it's such a pity we (Fmaj7)never,
