They asked me how I knew

My true love was true

"Something here inside

Cannot be denied."

So I chaffed them and I gaily laughed
Am7/G G Gº G G7
To think they could doubt my love
C C/B Am7
Yet today my love has flown away,

Now laughing friends deride
B7 E E7 A
Tears I cannot hide

So I smile and say

"When a lovely flame dies,
B7(9) B7 E F#m E C#m
Smoke gets in your eyes."
