They asked me how I knew  
B7             E    E7   A  
My true love was true 
Gdim    Edim    E6 
I   of course replied 
E          E7/13-    F#m7  
'Something here inside  
B7         E      C#m  A B7 
Cannot be denied.' 
  E    E7/13-         E7         F#m 
They said, 'Someday you'll find  
 B7         E    E7   A  
All who love are blind. 
Gdim    Edim         E6 
When your heart's on fire  
 E     E7/13-  F#m7 
You must realize  
B7                  E     Am7   E G G7 
Smoke gets in your eyes.'

      C         C/B           Am7  
So I chaffed them and I gaily laughed  
    Am7/G          G   Gdim  G  G7 
To think they could doubt my love 
  C        C/B         Am7 
Yet today my love has flown away,  
 Am7/G  E  E7/13- F#m7 B7 
I am without  my  love 
  E   E7/13-    E7       F#m 
Now laughing  friends deride  
   B7         E    E7  A 
Tears I cannot hide 
Gdim   Edim       E6    
So   I smile and say  
 E     E7/13-         F#m 
'When a lovely flame dies,  
  B7/9     B7        E     F#m  E C#m 
Smoke gets in your eyes.' 
Coda: 
  A   A7M  Am7 Am7/G   E 
Smoke gets in  your  eyes
