VERSE 2
|Em | | | |
Yeah you say that you don't love me
| | |
Yeah you talk about the other boys
| | |
And you laugh in my face
|Am | | | |
But I know when you're feeling sad and lonely
|Em | | | |
No other boy can take my place
CHORUS
|C |Bm |A |
Cause when I look into your eyes

And I hear all these rumours about you

Yea the trash lines up at my door just to bring me the news
|Am | | | |
But all it does is make me kind of wonder
|Em | | | |
Why are people so eager to be so cruel
CHORUS

Cause when I look into your eyes

Well our love shines-----
