Cheek To Cheek

* Notes in (parens) in first verse and first bridge are as composed
  by Irving Berlin

[Verses]

Heaven, I'm in heaven
 6 -5    7  -6* -6* -5
       (-4   5   6  -5)

And my heart beats so that I can hardly speak
-4  5    6    -5   -6*  6  7 -6* -7  7   -8

And I seem to find the happiness I seek
-7  7 -6*  -7  7    6  -5 -6* 6  5  -4

When we're out together dancing cheek to cheek
  5   -5    6   6  5  5  -7   7   7   7    7
                        (-3  -3   3  -2*   3)

Heaven, I'm in heaven
 6 -5   -8  -7 -5 -5

And the cares that hung around me through the week
-5  -5    6    6    -6* -6* 7  -6*  -7     7   -8

Seem to vanish like a gambler's lucky streak
 -7  7  -6* -7  7   6  -6* 6 -5 -5  5  -4

When we're out together dancing cheek to cheek
-8    -8   -8   7  7  7 -6* 7 7    7   7    7

[Bridges]

Oh I'd love to climb a mountain, and to reach the highest peak
-5  5*   5  -5  -6* -7   7  -5   -5  5*   5   -5  -6*  -7   7

But it doesn't thrill me half as much, as dancing cheek to cheek
-5  5*  5  -5   -6*   -7   7  7   -5   -5*  6   6   -6*  -6*  7
                                                   ( 4   -3   3 )

I'd love to go out fishing, in a river or a creek
-5    5  -5 -7 -7   7 -5    -7 7 -7 -7 -7 7  -5

But I don't enjoy it half as much, as dancing cheek to cheek
-5  5*  5   -5 -6* -7  7  -9  9    -8 -8 -8 7   7   -7   7


Dance with me, I want my arms about you
  7    7   7  -7* -7* -7* -7*  5* 5* 5*
             ( 7   7   7 )

The charms about you will carry me through to ...
-7*   7     5  5  5   -7   7 -4 -4   -4    -3
