**Lyrics:**
            Em  
Something told me it was over  
               B7  
When I saw you and her talkin'  
            A  
Something deep down in my soul said,  
             Em  
"Go on, just walk out the door"  
               Em  
And I just can't, can't help myself  
      B7  
When I look at you, baby  
        A  
I would rather, I would rather go blind  
             Em  
Than to see you walk away from me, child  

            Em  
So you see, I love you so much  
              B7  
That I don't wanna watch you leave me, baby  
     A  
Most of all, I just don't, I just don't  
              Em  
Wanna be free  

            Em  
I was just, I was just sittin' here thinkin'  
             B7  
Of your kiss and your warm embrace  
            A  
When the reflection in the glass  
              Em  
That I held to my lips now, babe  
               Em  
Revealed the tears that were on my face  
         B7  
And baby, baby, I'd rather go blind  
             A  
Than to see you walk away from me, child  
             Em  
Than to see you walk away from me, child
