A7 D   Cdim         A7 Fdim 
A fine romance with no kisses, 
 
  F#m7 Bm7           G  G/F# A7/6 A7 
A fine romance, my friend,   this is; 
 
   D         Dm7    D7        G  G/F# Cdim  A7 
We should be like a couple of hot to - ma - toes 
 
     D6                B7         G#m7      F#7  B7 
But you're as cold as yesterday's mashed po-tah-toes. 
 
A7 D   Cdim         A7    Fdim 
A fine romance, you won't nestle; 
 
  F#m7 Bm7            G   G/F# A7/6   A7 
A fine romance, you won't      wres - tle. 
 
        D       A7      D7         D9  Am7  B7 
You're just as hard to land as the Ile de France!  
 
Em7      Fdim    F#m7   B7  Em7      A - A9     D  
I haven't got a chance --  this is a fine romance.  
 
  
 
A7 D   Cdim         A7 Fdim 
A fine romance, my good woman 
 
   F#m7    Bm7          G   G/F# A7/6  A7 
My strong, aged-in-the-wood       wo - man 
 
        D6              B7         G#m7   F#7  B7 
You're calmer than the seals in the Arctic O - cean 
 
    D6                   B7         G#m7 Gdim   F#7    B7 
At least they flap their fins to express   e  -  mo - tion 
 
A7 D   Cdim          A7  Fdim 
A fine romance, with no clinches 
 
   F#m7 Bm7         G  G/F#  A7/6   A7 
A fine romance with no      hitch - es 
 
     D    A7       D7         D9 Am7  B7 
You never give the orchids I send a glance; 
 
Em7     Fdim        F#m7   B7  Em7       A - A9     D  
No, you like cactus plants --  this is a fine romance.
