[D] [D] [D] [D]
[C] [C] [G]
I ought to know the look in anothers eyes
[G] [D]
When the shot-in is on thier minds
[C] [C] [G]
I think I saw that look in a lovers eyes
[G] [D]
They were lookin me in mine
[C] [C]
Like both that found the woman who wanted (???)
[G] [D]
That found the one we wanted, just quit trying
CHORUS:
[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
[Em]
Somehow we sell ourselves on love
[G] [A] [D]
I just don't think I'll, leave my heart this time
[C] [C]
I ought to know the language well
[G] [G] [D]
I've heard me tell myself these things before
[C] [C]
I've finally made my mind up
[G] [G] [D]
My heart tells me to look for something more
[C] [C]
To turn the knot, to wind up one
[G] [G] [D]
Was she the one, you can never be too sure
