My Funny Valentine Elvis Costello

[Dm7]My funny [A/Db]valentine,

[Dm/C]Sweet comic [Bm7b5]valentine,

[Bbmaj7]You make me [Gm7]smile with my [Em7b5]heart. [A7]

[Dm7]Your looks are [A/Db]laughable.

[Dm/C]Unphoto[Bm7b5]graphable.

[Bbmaj7]Yet your my [Bbm7]favorite work of [C7b9]art.

Is your [Fmaj7]figure less than [Gm7]Greek? [Am7] [Gm7]

Is your [Fmaj7]mouth a little [Gm7]weak? [Am7] [Gm7]

When you [Fmaj7]open it to speak, are you [Gm7] smart? [Am7] [Gm7]

But don't change a hair for me, not if you care for me.

Stay little valentine, stay.

Each day is Valentine's day.

Enjoy....

Changed "your looks are affable" to the correct "your looks are laughable."

Added "But" to the beginning of the final verse.
