(To Match Recording)
I (G) believed every word that woman told me
Right up to the time she said good(C)bye
I couldn't see the truth when she'd (G) hold me
Although it was (D) right before my (G) eyes
(C) I'm not the (Bb) first to go (G) blind
Or the first to ignore the warning (D) signs
I (G) may have been a fool
When it comes to (C) you
But I'm not the (D) first to go (G) blind
Well (G) Lord if I had only seen it coming
Then I could have stepped out of the (C) way
But her good lovin' kept my wild thoughts (G) runnin'
And I know that's what (D) took my sight aw(G)ay
Repeat Chorus Twice
I (G) may have been a fool
When it comes to (C) you
But I'm not the (D) first to go (G) blind
