Intro: Em

  Em             C
Show me a man secure in his love
           G         D     Em
And I'll show you a lucky man
   Em                       C
I loved her too well and I just couldn't tell
         G        D      Em
She was holding another hand

      Am
And when she said that
                        Em
She would leave in the morning
    D
I broke down and cried

                G                  F           E
'Cos I had the love in my eyes, I just didn't see it
 Am                 C
Such a surprise, I just don't believe it
 G        B         Em              Am G D
Somebody took her away, oh, I was blind
                   G    C G B
I had the love in my eyes

 Em                C
Day after day, in so many ways
   G            D       Em
I gave her the best of me
      Em                    C 
But she wanted more and she opened the door
         G             D             Em
Well, I hope that you find what you need

    Am                                     Em
And all the time I thought that she was beside me
          D
She was drifting away

               G                  F           E
But I had the love in my eyes, I just didn't see it
 Am                 C
Such a surprise, I just don't believe it
 G        B         Em              Am G D
Somebody took her away, oh, I was blind
                   Em     D C
I had the love in my eyes, 
           D         G    F E Am C G B Em Am G D G C G B G F E Am C G B Em Am G D
I had the love in my eyes,
