I Get a Kick out of You

DIFFERENT KEY BELOW THIS VERSION

Bill plays this in C

[Intro]
D6          Em7       A7       D6
My story is much too sad to be told,
Em7     A7      Dmaj7        Em7       A7     D6
But practically everything leaves me totally cold.
D6          Em7       A7         F#maj7 D#m7
The only exception I know is the case
G#m7     C#7      F#maj7         D#m7
When I'm out on a quiet spree,
G#m7      C#7b9         F#m7
Fighting vainly the old ennui,
B7              Em7     A7                D6     C#7b9 E9  A7b9
And I suddenly turn and see your fabulous face.
 
[Verse]
Em7      A7              Dmaj7    F#m7
I get no kick from champagne.
Em7      A7          Dmaj7        F#m7   B7b9
Mere alcohol doesn't thrill me at all.
B7b9  Em7     A7          Am/F#    B7
So    tell me why should it be     true
B7b9  Em7          A7     D6
That  I get a kick out of you?
 
[Verse]
Em7      A7             Dmaj7      F#m7 B7b9
Some—they may go for cocaine.
Em7      A7          Dmaj7        F#m7 B7b9
I'm sure that if   I took even one sniff
B7b9 Em7     A7         Am/F#    B7
It would bore me terrifically, too.
B7b9  Em7          A7     D6
Yet I get a kick out of you.
 
[Bridge]
Am7      D9         Am7     D7
I get a kick every time I see
     Am/F#         B7b9   B7
You standing there before me.
Em7     C#m7b5           Am/F#    B7b9
I get a kick though it's clear to see
    E9                Em7  A7
You obviously don’t adore me.
 
[Verse]
Em7      A7             Dmaj7      F#m7 B7b9
I get no kick in a plane.
Em7      A7               Dmaj7      F#m7 B7b9
Flying too high With some gal in the sky
B7b9  Em7     A7         Am/F#    B7
Is my idea of nothing to do.
B7b9  Em7        A7     D6
Yet I get a kick—um,
Em7           A7     D6
You give me a boot
 
[Outro]
B7b9  Em7           A7     D6
I get a kick out of you.
