Fmaj7 G7b5
Love is like a never ending melody,
G C7 Ab5 D7b9
Poets have compared it to a symphony,
G A7b9 D7 D7b9
A symphony conducted by the lighting of the moon,
G7b9 Gbmaj7
But our song of love is slightly out of tune . . . .
Fmaj7 G7b5
Once your kisses raised me to a fever pitch,
G C7 Ab5 D7b9
Now the orchestration doesn’t seem so rich,
G Bb A
Seems to me you’ve changed the tune we used to sing,
Bb5 E7#9
Like the bossa nova love should swing . . . .
Amaj7 Bbº7 B E7
We used to harmonize two souls in perfect time,
Amaj7 F# B E7
Now the song is different and the words don’t even rhyme,
CMAJ7 C#º7 D G7
‘Cause you forgot the melody our hearts would always croon,
G Ab5 D7b9 C7b5
What good’s a heart that’s slightly out of tune?
Fmaj7 G7b5
Tune your heart with mine the way it used to be,
G C7 Ab5 D7b9
Join with me in harmony and sing a song of love,
G Bb A Ab
We’re bound to get in tune again before too long,
G Bb Eb7
There’ll be no Desafinado when your heart belongs to me completely
G7 C7 F6
Then you won’t be slightly out of tune, you’ll sing along with me!
