Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[G][Am][Am][G]

[Verse 1]
[G]Something told me it was ove[Am]r (yeah)
When I saw you and [G]her talking
Something deep down
in my [Am]soul said, "Cry girl" (cry, cry)
When I saw you and that [G]girl, walking now

[Bridge 1]
[G]Ooh, I would rather,
I would rather go [Am]blind boy
Than to see you, walk away from me [G]child, no

[Verse 2]
[G]Ooh, so you see, I love you so much
[Am]That I don't wanna watch
you leave me babe
Most of all, I just don't
I just don't [G]wanna be free no, ooh

[Verse 3]
[G]I was just, I was just,
[Am]I was just sitting here thinking
Of your kiss and your warm em[G]brace, yeah
When the reflection in the glass
That I [Am]held to my lips now baby (yeah, yeah)
Revealed the tears
that was on [G]my face, yeah, ooh

[Bridge 2]
[G]And babe, baby, I'd rather
I'd rather be [Am]blind boy
Than to see you walk away,
see you walk away from [G]me, yeah, ooh
[Repeat and fade]
