You Dont Know What Love Is

Billie Holiday


Tom: Am

E7/5+ = 020110  A9 = 002200

    A9              F6   E7/5+
You don't know what love is
Am                      E7/5+             F6
'Til you've learned the meaning  of the blues;
Dm7                     E7           Am Ddim Gm C#dim
Until you've loved a love you've had  to lose,
Dm6 (003201)            E7/4    E7/5+
You don't know    what love is.

    A9              F6   E7/5+
You don't know how lips hurt
Am                      E7/5+             F6
Until you've kissed and had to  pay  the cost;
Dm7                     E7           Am Ddim Gm C#dim
Until you've flipped your heart and you have lost,
Dm6 (003201) E7/5+      Am
You don't know    what love is.

Bridge:

(G)
Dm7      G7         C7+
Do you know how a lost heart fears
Dm7      G7         C7+
At the thought of rem - i - nis - cing,
        F#m9       B7     E7+
And how lips that taste of tears
Dm6 (003201)            E7/4    E7/5+
Lose their taste for kissing?

    A9              F6   E7/5+
You don't know how hearts burn
Am                      E7/5+             F6
For love that can - not live yet never dies.
Dm7                     E7           Am Ddim Gm C#dim
Until you've faced each dawn with sleep - less eyes,
Dm6 (003201) E7/5+      Am
You don't know    what love is.
