INTRO: 

       D                          Gm6 
Once I loved such a shattering physician 
          Gm           A7            D  
Quite the best looking doctor in the state 
          D                    Gm6 
He looked after my physical condition 
        Gm      A7         D 
And his bedside manner was great 
         Bm                         Gm6 
When I'd gaze up and see him there above me 
        Gm          A7            D  
Looking less like a doctor than a Turk 
      Bm                          Gm6  
I was tempted to whisper, "Do you love me 
          Gm     A7        D  
Or do you merely love your work?" 

verse 1 
   A7      D         A7+          D6 
He said my bronchial tubes were entrancing 
      D       A7+             F#dim          A7 
My epiglottis filled him with glee  
          G        F#              F     Eb      B7  
He simply loved my larynx and went wild about my pharynx 
       Em7           A7    D  
But he never said he loved me  

verse 2 
   A7      D  A7+        D6  
He said my epidermis was darling 
             D        A7+           F#dim   A7  
And found my blood as blue as could be  
                G      F#             F          Eb    B7 
He went through wild ecstatics when I showed him my lymphatics 
       Em7           A7    D         D7  
But he never said he loved me   

 
               G                 C        Cm  
And though, no doubt,     it was not very smart of me 
  G         D7             E7  
I kept on a-wracking of my soul 
          A    A7+            D           Dm  
To figure out          why he loved every part of me 
    A       Gm6     A  
And yet not me as a whole  

verse 3 
   A7  D    A7+        D6  
By my esophagus he was ravished 
       D     A7+    F#dim    A7  
Enthusiastic to a degree  
              G     F#            F       Eb  B7 
He said 'twas just enormous - my appendix vermformis 
       Em7           A7    D  
But he never said he loved me  

verse 4 
   A7      D   A7+        D6  
He said my cerebellum was brilliant 
       D        A7+        F#dim    A7  
And my cerebrum far from N G  
          G         F#       F       Eb   B7 
I know he thought a lotta My medulla oblongota 
       Em7           A7    D  
But he never said he loved me  

Verse 5 
   A7      D   A7+          D6  
He said my maxillaries were marvels 
             D       A7+         F#dim    A7  
And found my sternum stunning to see  
         G      F#            F        Eb     B7  
He did a double hurdle when I shook my pelvic girdle            
       Em7           A7    D     D7  
But he never said he loved me  

 
           G                  C            Cm   
He seemed amused      when he first made a test of me 
   G           D7      E7  
To further his medical art 
         A      A7+             D            Dm  
Yet he refused        when he'd fixed up the rest of me 
   A         Gm6        A  
To cure that ache in my heart 

Verse 6 
  A7      D          A7+      D6  
I know he thought my pancreas perfect 
           D          A7+           F#dim     A7  
And for my spleen was keen as could be  
            G       F#               F        Eb    B7 
He said, of all his sweeties I'd the sweetest dia - betes 
       Em7           A7    D  
But he never said he loved me
