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. 
                     Bm 
I would rather, I would rather go blind boy, 
                  A 
Than to see you, walk away from me child, and all. 

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 
                           
                        Bm 
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. 
                       Bm 
And baby, baby, I would rather be blind boy 
                 A 
Than to see you walk away, see you walk away from me, yeah 
                   Bm 
Baby, baby, baby, I'd rather be blind now
