A Bm
Something told me it was over
A
when I saw you and her talking,
Bm
Something deep down in my soul said, ´Cry Girl´,
A
when I saw you and that girl, walking out.
[Chorus]
Bm
I would rather, I would rather go blind boy,
A
Than to see you, walk away from me child, and all.
A
Ooooo So you see, I love you so much
Bm
That I don't want to watch you leave me baby,
A
Most of all, I just don't, I just don't want to be free no

I was just, I was just, I was just sitting here thinking
A
Of your kisses and your warm embrace, yeah,
Bm
When the reflection in the glass that I held to my lips now baby,
A
Revealed the tears that was on my face, yeah.
[Chorus]
Bm
And baby, baby, I would rather be blind boy
A
Than to see you walk away, see you walk away from me, yeah

Baby, baby, baby, I'd rather be blind now
