WE TELL OURSELVES   (Listen to sample)

   D ~ ~

   C                                                            G

1.    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

2.    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.
