Capo 3rd Fret (To Match Recording)


I (G) believed every word that woman told me
Right up to the time she said good(C)bye
I couldn't see the truth when she'd (G) hold me
Although it was (D) right before my (G) eyes

 	 (C) I'm not the (Bb) first to go (G) blind
 	 Or the first to ignore the warning (D) signs
 	 I (G) may have been a fool
 	 When it comes to (C) you
 	 But I'm not the (D) first to go (G) blind

Well (G) Lord if I had only seen it coming
Then I could have stepped out of the (C) way
But her good lovin' kept my wild thoughts (G) runnin'
And I know that's what (D) took my sight aw(G)ay

Repeat Chorus Twice

 	 I (G) may have been a fool
 	 When it comes to (C) you
 	 But I'm not the (D) first to go (G) blind
