E E7M E7 F#m7
They asked me how I knew
B7 E E7 A
My true love was true
Gdim Edim E6
I of course replied
E E7/13- F#m7
"Something here inside
B7 E C#m A B7
Cannot be denied."
E E7/13- E7 F#m
They said, "Someday you'll find
B7 E E7 A
All who love are blind.
Gdim Edim E6
When your heart's on fire
E E7/13- F#m7
You must realize
B7 E Am7 E G G7
Smoke gets in your eyes."
Bridge
C C/B Am7
So I chaffed them and I gaily laughed
Am7/G G Gdim G G7
To think they could doubt my love
C C/B Am7
Yet today my love has flown away,
Am7/G E E7/13- F#m7 B7
I am without my love
E E7/13- E7 F#m
Now laughing friends deride
B7 E E7 A
Tears I cannot hide
Gdim Edim E6
So I smile and say
E E7/13- F#m
"When a lovely flame dies,
B7/9 B7 E F#m E C#m
Smoke gets in your eyes."
Coda:
A A7M Am7 Am7/G E
Smoke gets in your eyes
