Am                             E
Have you seen that girl in the corner?
            Am                   E
I'd like to take her out of her chains
            Am                   E
'Cause if I had my ways with you baby
             Dm                Am
I would be changing your life today

(chorus):
C                 Am
Your eyes got me dreamin'
C                 Am
Your eyes got me blind
C                 Am
Your eyes got me hopin'
              Dm                 Riff/Am
That I'll be holding you close tonight


repeat chorus

            Am                 E
She was the same as a hundred ladies
             Am                   E
But when my eyes looked at her I learned
             Am                E
that she was keeping a secret fire
         Dm                 Am
and if I got too close I'd burn
 N/C   Am                           E
So it looked like I'd have to move slowly
             Am                  E
Just like a cat at night in the trees
              Am                 E
'cause I was waiting for her to show me
              Dm                   Am
That way that she liked her love to feel

repeat chorus

Dm    Am
Dm     Am
Dm     Am
