I Can't Get Started

Billie Holiday


Tom: C

G      G6  G C7M   C   Am7        Dm7 G7
I've flown around the world in a plane
          E   E7       Am     Fm7
I've settled revolutions in Spain
        C7M   C    Am
The north pole I have charted
 Dm7   G   C  Am7  Fm7   G#7  G7
But I can't get started with you
G  G6  G   C7M    C   Am7       Dm7  G7
Around the golf course, I'm under par
         E   E7      Am    Fm7
And all the movies want me to star
 C7M   C   Am  Dm7   G C G#7  G7
I've got a house, a show place,   but I get no place with you

Bridge:
C    C/B   Dm7  G7     Dm7        G7           C7M  C6       C7M         C6
You're so supreme,     lyrics I write of you, scheme      just for a sight of you
D   Bm7   Bm5-/7        D7           Dm7   Am7   Fm7      G
Dream      both  day and night of you, and what good does it do
G   G6   G   C7M   C     Am7     Dm7 G7
In nineteen twenty-nine, I sold short
   E       E7       Am     Fm7
In England, I'm presented at court
      C7M      C  Am     Dm7
But you've got me down hearted
Dm7      G       G7        C   Fm7 Bb9 C
'Cause I can't get started with you
