 5   -5  6  -6  
Love is like a 
 6  -5  5* -5  -6  5* 5*  
Nev-er end-ing mel-o-dy, 
-5  6   -6   7   -6   6 
Po-ets have com-pared it 
-5* 6  8  -5* -5* 
to  a sym-pho-ny, 
-5  8  -7* -7  7  -7*  -7 -5*
A  sym-pho-ny con-duct-ed by 
 6   -6*  -7 -6* -5  -5* 
the light-ing of the moon, 
 7*  7  -6   -5  7*  7 
But our song of love is 
  -6   -5 -6  5*  5* 
Slight-ly out of tune 

  5   -5   6   -6   6    -5 
Once your kiss-es raised me 
5* -5 -6  5*  5*
to a  fev-er pitch, 
-5   6   -6  7  -6   6 
Now the orch-es-tra-tion 
-5*   6   8  -5*  -5* 
Does-n't seem so rich, 
  8  -7* -7   7      -7* 
Seems to me you've changed 
-7   7   -6  7   -6  7 
the tune we used to sing, 
 6   -6*  6 -6* 6  -5 
Like the bos-sa no-va 
 5*    -5     6 
love should swing . . . . 

5*  6  -6*   6  -6* 6
We used to  harm-o-nize 
-5   5*   -5  6  -4    6 
two souls in per-fect time, 
 6  -6*  7*  -7 -8   -7 
Now the song is dif-f'rent 
 5* -5   6    -6*   6 -6*  6 
and the words don't e-ven rhyme, 
   6    7  -7   7  -7   7 -6 6
'Cause you for-got the mel-o-dy 
-6    7     -5   7   -5    7 
our hearts would al-ways croon, 
-5  7   -7   -7*  -7  -7* 
And so What good's a heart 
 -7      8   -7* -7  -7* 7
that's slight-ly out of tune? 

 5    -5    6   -6  6
Tune your heart to mine 
-5   5* -5 -6   5* 5* 
the way it used to be, 
 -5   6   -6 7  -6  6 -5* 
Join with me in har-mo-ny 
 6   -9  9*  9   -8 -7* -9
and sing a  song of lov-ing  
 -7     8   -8 -7* -7 -7* 
We're bound to get in tune 
-7 7   -6  -7   6   7 
a-gain be-fore too long, 
   -5    6  -6 -6 -6 -6 -6 -6
There'll be no Des-a-fi-na-do 
 -5   6    -6   -6  -6
when your heart be-longs 
-6 -6 -6   8   -7* 
to me com-plete-ly 
 -5   6   -6   -6  -6    -6 
Then you won't be slight-ly 
-6   6 -6      6 
out of tune, you'll 
 -5* 6  7    -6  -6 
sing a-long with me!
