They asked me how I (Bm7)knew
my true love was (G)true.
(G13)I, of course, re (C#m7)plied
(F#m11)some thing here in (Bm7)side
can not be de (C#)nied.
They (F7)said some day you’ll (Bm7)find
all who love are (Gmaj7)blind.
(G)When your heart’s on (C#m7)fi re,
your must re al (Bm9)ize
smoke gets in your (A69)eyes.
So I chaffed
and then I (Am9)gai ly laughed,
to think that they (Gm9)doubt,
doubt my (Gm9)love.
Yet to day
(A)my love has
flown a (G13)way; I am with (C#m7)out
my (B9)love.
Now (F7)laugh ing friends de (Bm7)ride
tears I can not (Gmaj7)hide.
(G)So I smile and (C#m7)say,
“When a love ly (Bm9)flame dies,
smoke gets in your (A69)eyes.”
(Fmaj9)Yet to day
my love has (Dm11)flown a way;
I am with (Amaj7)out
my
love.
Oh, now
laugh ing friends de (Bm7)ride
tears I can not (Gmaj7)hide.
(C)So I smile and (C#m7)say,
“When a love ly flame (Bm9)dies,
smoke gets in your (C#m7)eyes.”
I (Bm7)say,
“Smoke
gets (Dmaj7)in
(D)your
(Fmaj9)eyes.”
