Chorus:
 C
You lined me up
 F
Across the room
 C
Two falling sparks
     G
One willing fool
   Am             F
And I, I always knew
                              C F C
That I would love you from afar

You told me, "Boy, look the other way"
You told me, "Boy, hide those hands"
Well, I've been living on the crumbs of your love
And I'm starving now
And that is just the way that we remain
Oh, that will be the way that we remain
Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no

Chorus - x2

              F             C
It shouldn't come as a surprise
             G                      Am
What I'm feeling, what I'm feeling now
              F             C
It shouldn't come as a surprise
         G                Am
She got darling hazel eyes

              F             C
It shouldn't come as a surprise
             G                      Am
What I'm feeling, what I'm feeling now - x4
