I ought to know the look in anothers eyes
G D
When theres something on thier minds
C C G
I think I saw that look in a lovers eyes
G D
They were lookin me in mine

Like we both had found the one want
G D
and found the one we wanted, just quit trying
[Refrão] G G
So we tell ourselves, that what we found
G F D
Is what we meant to find
G G
Thats what we tell ourselves, you won't believe the things
G F D
The heart would tell the mind

Somehow we sell ourselves on love
G A D
I just don't think I'll, believe my heart this time

I ought to know the language well
G G D
I've heard me tell myself these things before

To turn the knot, to wind up one

Was she the one, well you can never be sure
