Capo I (All chords relative to capo)

CHORUS:
                  Am                C
If you could only see the way she loves me,
                     G         G/F          G         Am
Then maybe you would understand, why I feel this way
           C                    G        G/F
About our love, and what I must do
                G  Am                C
If you could only see how blue her eyes can be,
          G  G/F                          
When she says, when she says she loves me.(Em before interlude & solo)

G5/A5 G5/A5 G5/A5 G5/A5         F                   D11(no C)
