Something told me it was over (yeah-eah-eah-eah) 
Bm                 A
when I saw you and her talking.
A                   Gbm   Bm
Something deep down in my soul said, cry girl, 
 Gbm  Bm
(cry, cry) when I saw you and that girl walking 
A
out.

boy, than to see you walk away from me, child.

So, you see, I love you so much, that I don't want 

to watch you leave me, babe.

sittin' there thinking of your kiss and your warm 
  A
embrace, yeah.
A                          Gbm          Bm
when the reflection in the glass that I held to my
                Gbm          Bm
lips now, babe (yeah-eah-eah-eah) revealed the tears 
         E     A
that was on my face, yeah.

     Gbm Bm                                        
boy.................than to see you walk away from 
A
me, yeah.
     Gbm   A                               Bm
Oooo-oooo, baby, baby, baby..I'd rather be blind..(Fade.)
