Smoke Gets in Your Eyes

guitar chords lyrics

J.D. Souther

They asked me how I knew my true love was true
I of course replied "something here inside cannot be denied"
They said "someday you'll find all who love are blind"

When your heart's on fire, you must realize smoke gets in
your eyes
So I *chaffed* them and I gaily laughed to think they could
doubt my love
Yet today my love has flown away, I am without my love
Now laughing friends deride tears I cannot hide
So I smile and say "when a lovely flame dies, smoke gets in
your eyes"
