E E7M E7 F#m7
They asked me how I knew
B7 E E7 A
My true love was true
Gdim Edim E6
I of course replied

"Something here inside
B7 E C#m A B7
Cannot be denied"
E E7/13- E7 F#m
They said, "Someday you'll find
B7 E E7 A
All who love are blind
Gdim Edim E6
When your heart's on fire

Smoke gets in your eyes"

C C/B Am7
So I chaffed them and I gaily laughed
Am7/G G Gdim G G7
To think they could doubt my love
C C/B Am7
Yet today my love has flown away
Am7/G E E7/13- F#m7 B7
I am without my love
E E7/13- E7 F#m
Now laughing friends deride
B7 E E7 A
Tears I cannot hide

So I smile and say

Smoke gets in your eyes"
