It Must Be Him

IT MUST BE HIM
By Gilbert Becaud


I tell my-self what's done is done
-4 7*  -6* 7*    -6*   7*  -8  -8
I tell my-self don't be a fool
-4 7*  -6* 7*   -6*  7* -8 8*
Play the field have a lot of fun
-6*   6   -6*   -6* 6 -6* -8 -8
It’s eas-y when you play it cool
-6*  7* -7  8*  -8   7*  -6* 7*
I tell my-self don't be a chump
-4 7*  -6* 7*   -6*  7* -8  -8
Who cares, let him stay a-way
7*   7*     7* -6*  7*  -8 8*   
That’s when the phone rings and I jump
-6*     -6*  6   -6*    6   -6* -8 -8
And as I grab the phone I pray
-6* 7* -7 8*  -8   7*  -6* 7*  
Let it please be him, oh dear God
-8  -8   -8   8*  8*  -9* -9*  10
It  must  be him It  must  be him
-10* -10* 10 10  -9*  -9*  8*  8*
or I shall die   Or I shall die
-8 -8 -6*  -6*   8* 8* -8   -8
Oh hel-lo, hel-lo my dear God
-8  -8 -8   8* 8* -9* -9* 10
It  must be him but it's not him
-10*-10* 10  10 -9* -9*   8*  8*
And then I  die
-8   -8 -6* -6*
That’s when I die
8*      8*  -8 -8

After a while, I'm myself again
I take the pieces off the floor
Put my heart on the shelf again
You'll never hurt me anymore
I'm not a puppet on a string
I'll find somebody else someday
That's when the phone rings, and once again
I start to pray
Let it please be him, oh dear God
It must be him , it must be him
or I shall die, Or I shall die
Oh hello, hello my dear God
It must be him but it's not him
And then I die
That's when I die
