Funny when you feel that way (intro)

1. I can’t forget how far I fell since first I fell in love,

A D

I had a most sincere attack squeezing a lady's glove.

Her lovely hand was in it as I waltzed around so gay,

A D

I thought myself in paradise, it's funny when you feel that way.

2. Again we met one afternoon, as we were all alone,

A D

I pumped up nerve to ask if she someday would be my own.

She blushed and said, “Go ask poppa and ask him if I may.”

A D

I danced a canter around the room, it's funny when you feel that way.

D G D

It's funny when you feel that way, it's funny when you feel that way,

3. The old boy said that we might wait and so he crowned my bliss,

A D

I shall be a double man in about a month from this.

Though it seemed to me somehow the time shall never pass away,

A D

for I long to hear those wedding bells, it's funny when you feel that way.

D G D

It's funny when you feel that way, it's funny when you feel that way,

A D

I long to hear the wedding bells, it's funny when you feel that way.
