C Dm They asked me how I knew, G7 C C+ F my true love was true. Cdim Cmaj7 I of course replied, Am Dm G7 C G7 ?Something here inside cannot be denied?. C Dm They said someday you?ll find, G7 C C+ F All who love are blind. Cdim Cmaj7 When your heart?s on fire. Am Dm G7 C You must realize, smoke gets in your eyes. Key change for middle eight. Ab Abmaj7 So I chaffed them and I gaily laughed. Ab7 Eb7 Ebdim Eb7 To think they could doubt my love Ab Fm7 G7 Yet today my love has flown away. C G7 I am without my love. C Dm Now laughing friends deride, G7 C C+ F Tears I cannot hide. Cdim Cmaj7 So I smile and say, Am Dm When a lovely flame dies G7 C Smoke gets in your eyes Dm C Smoke gets in your eyes Dm C Smoke gets in your eyes Dm Fm C Smoke gets in your eyes
