[Ab]
[Bbm]
[Ab]
Something told me it was [Bbm]
over, yeah, when I saw you and [Ab] heard talking.
And something deep down in my [Bbm] soul said cry [Fm] girl, [Bbm] when I saw you and that [Ab]
girl walking
now.
I would rather, I would rather [Bbm] go blind, Lord, [Bb]
than to see you walk away [Bbm]
from [Ab] me, child.
So you see, I love you so much [Bbm] that I don't want to want to leave you, baby.
But most
of all, I just don't, I just don't [Ab] want to be free now.
I was just, I was [Bbm] just, I was
just [Ab] sitting here [Bbm] thinking of your kiss [Ab] and your warm embrace.
When the reflection in
the glass that I [Bbm] held to my lips now, [Fm] baby,
[Bbm] revealed the tears that was on [Ab] my face.
[Bbm]
[Db] [Bbm]
[Ab]
I [Fm] would
[Ab]
[Fm] rather be [Bbm] blind, Lord, than to see you walk away from [Ab] me, child.
But something told me, something told [Bbm] me it was over, baby, when I saw you, when I saw [Ab] you and that girl walking.
I would rather, oh, I would [Bbm] rather be blind, Lord, than to watch you walk away from [Ab] me.
Child.
I just don't, I just don't want to leave you.
