F She kept telling me she loved me C And would stick by me like glue G But all along she was sticking around CC7 With every other guy she knew F And for her I walk that line C Until I found no love to gain G Oh the more I saw of her G7CC7 The blinder I became
Chorus: FG The more I saw of her C The less my eyes could see D Until one day I wised up G And stood up for me
I found inside her a heart So wild no one could tame And the more I saw of her The blinder I became
