I Love Her But She Loves Someone Else

	  		
Verse 1:
 Am 
When a man of my age shaves his face in the morning 
 E                                  Dm 
Who is it that stares back and greets him? 
    Dm                       G 
The ghost of his father long dead all these years? 
       Dm                     F 
Or the boy that he was, still wet in the ears? 
       E                   Am 
Or the terrible sum of all of his fears 
       B                               Am 
In the eyes of this stranger who meets him? 
       Am 
So his glance rarely strays from his chin or his jawline 
   E                           Dm 
To face up to the truth of his soul 
         Dm                G 
It's the eyes he avoids so afraid to acknowledge 
          F                    G 
Something strange, unexpected, out of control 
          C 
There are times when a man needs to brave his reflection 
    G                         Am 
And face what he sees without fear 
           Am                F 
It takes a man to accept his mortality 
      Dm                             E 
Or be surprised by the presence of a tear 
       Am                      Dm 
It was only an arrangement, a practical arrangement 
  B                                   E 
I forgot the first commandment of the realist's handbook 
         Am                      Dm 
Don't be fooled by illusions you created yourself 
    B                                   E             Am 
And fall in love with someone, when she loves someone else 


       Am                    E 
Like a covering of snow on a winter's night 
   Dm                              C   G 
It glistens and it sparkles in the moonlight 
         Am                                  C 
But it's gone by the morning, how quickly it melts 
Fm                         Dm            Am 
You still love her but she loves someone else 


B 

Verse 2:
    Em 
And where does that leave you? 
    B 
You self-styled man of vision 
    G                             E 
You feel stupid, you feel angry, are you losing your mind? 
   Am                          E 
To destroy the one she loves, does that become your mission? 
       E                         Am 
Like a pantomime villain with an axe to grind? 
   Dm                                  Em 
To regain your self-respect, hold your head up like a man 
        Am                               Dm 
Use the ice around your heart before it melts 
               Am                           Dm      Am 
But you're not fooling anybody, you're only fooling yourself 



       F                     A#m 
Like a covering of snow on a winter's night 
   G#                              C# 
It glistens and it sparkles in the moonlight 
         F                                   C# 
But it's gone by the morning, how quickly it melts 
              Gm         F#          F             A#m 
And still you still love her but she loves someone else
