(intro) D

   C                                                            G
    I ought to know the look in another's eyes,
                                              D
    when the shot is on their minds.
        C                                               G
    I think I saw that look in a lover's eyes
                                           D
    they were lookin me in mine.
                    C
     Like we both had found the woman we wanted,
              G                                                   D
    that found the one we wanted, just quit trying.

            G
So we tell ourselves, that what we found
                                  D
is what we meant to find.
                          G
That's what we tell ourselves, you won't believe the things
         F               C           D
the heart would tell the mind.
                       Em
Somehow we sell ourselves on love,
          G                        A                           D
I just don't think, I'll believe my heart this time.

   C
    I ought to know the language well,
             G                                                     D
    I've heard me tell myself these things before.
             C
    I've finally made my mind up,
             G                                                      D
    my heart tells me to look for something more.
           C
     To turn the knot, to wind up one,
            G                                                      D
    was she the one, you can never be too sure.

            G
So we tell ourselves, that what we found
                                  D
is what we meant to find.
                          G

I just don't think, I'll believe my heart this time.
