              (intro)  Em7  D#m7  Dm7  G7  Em7   Abm7   C#m7 
 
 Cm7 D#m7            Dm7 
They asked me how I knew 
G7                C   Caug  F 
My true love was true 
F#dim7         Em7 
I of course replied 
 Am7             Dm7 
"Something here inside 
G7          C   Em7 D#m7  Dm7 G7 
Cannot be denied" 
 
They said someday you'll find 
All who love are blind 
When your heart's on fire 
You must realise 
G7                  C    Bbm7   Eb7 
Smoke gets in your eyes 
 
Abm7                    Fm7 
So I chaffed and then I gaily laughed 
                    Bbm7       Bbm7 Eb7 
To think they would doubt my love 
Ab7                     Fm7          G7 
Yet today, my love has flown away 
C            A7  Dm6   G7 
I am without my love 
 
Now laughing friends deride 
Tears I cannot hide 
So I smile and say 
"When a lovely flame dies, 
G7                  C     E7 D7 C#m7 Cm7 
Smoke gets in your eyes."
