[Opening]
[F]My story is [Gm7]much [C7]too sad to be [F7]told,
[C7]But practically [F]ev’rything [C7]leaves me totally [F]cold.
The [F]only [Gm7]exception I [C7]know is the [A7]case,
[Bm7]When I’m [E7]out on a [A]quiet spree,
[Bm7]fighting vainly the [C7]old ennui,
[D7]And I [Gm7]suddenly turn and [C7]see
[F]your [Am]fabulous [D7]face.

[section 2]
[G7]I get no [C7]kick from cham[F]pagne
[Gm7]Mere alco[C7]hol doesn’t [F]thrill me at [Am]all,
So [Gm7]tell me, [C7]why [Dm7]should it be [F7]true
That [Gm7]I get a [C7]kick out of [F]you?

[section 3]
[Gm7]Some get a [C7]kick from co[F]caine [Am]
[Gm7]I’m sure that [C7]if I took
[F]just one [F7]more [D7]sniff that would
[Gm7]Bore me ter[C7]rif[F7]ic’ly, [Am]too [D7]
Yet [Gm]I get a [C7]kick out of [F]you. [F7]

[section 4]
[F7]I get a [Bb]kick every time I [F7]see
[Bb]You [Dm]standing there be[D7]fore me
[Gm7]I get a kick, though it’s [Cm7]clear to [Gm]see
You [G7]obviously do not a[Gm7]dore [C7]me.

[Closing]
[Gm7]I get no [C7]kick in a [F]plane [Am]
[Gm7]Flying too [C7]high with some [F]gal in the [Dm7]sky
[D7]Is my [Gm7]idea of [Am]nothing to [D7]do
Yet [Gm7]I get a [C7]kick, [Am]you give me a [D7]boot,
Yes, [Gm7]I get a [C7]kick out of [F]you.
