Something told me [Bm] it was over
[Bm] When I saw you [A] and her talking
Something deep down in [Bm] my soul said cry girl
When I saw [F#] you and that [A] girl walking down
[F#m] [A]
Oh [Bm] blind boy
Then to see you walk away from [A] me child
So you see I love you so much

Most of all I [F#] just don't
I just [A] don't wanna be free, no
I [Bm]
was just sitting there thinking
Of your kiss and your [A] warm embrace, yeah
When the reflection [F#m] in the glass
That I [Bm] held to my lips now babe
Revealed the [F#] tears that was [A] on my face, yeah
And baby, I'd [Bm] rather be blind boy
