Am (x02210@1)           FShow (133211@1)me a man secure in his love,

   Am (x02210@1)                     FI (133211@1)loved her too well and I just couldn't tell,
        G (320003@1)             AmShe (x02210@1)was holding another hand,
    Dm (xx0231@1)                                      AmAnd (x02210@1)when she said that she would leave in the morning,
   GI (320003@1)broke down and cried,
   
                C (x32010@1)                Em (022000@1)      
'Cos I had the love in my eyes, I just didn't see it,
Dm (xx0231@1)    
Such a surprise, I just don't believe it,
C (x32010@1)      Em (022000@1)     Am (x02210@1)             Dm (xx0231@1) GSomebody (320003@1)took her away, oh I was blind,
G (320003@1)                            CI (x32010@1)had the love in my eyes...

Day after day, in so many ways,
I gave her the best of me,
But she wanted more, and she opened the door,
Well I hope that you find what you need;
And all the time I thought that she was beside me,
She was drifting away,

But I had the love in my eyes, I just didn't see it,
Such a surprise, I just don't believe it,
Somebody took her away, oh I was blind,
I had the love in my eyes,
I had the love in my eyes...
