I SAW THE LIGHT

INTRO:  (C#-C) Bm7    E  (x2)

VERSE 1:
       Bm7       E
It was late last night
      Bm7                      E
I was feeling something wasn't right
          Bm7                 E
There was not another soul in sight
      Amaj7    C#m7
Only you, only you

VERSE 2:
      Bm7     E
So we walked along
         Bm7                           E
Though I knew that there was something wrong
        Bm7                  E            Amaj7  A7
And the feeling hit me oh so strong about you
         Dmaj7       C#m7       F#m                 B7
Then you gazed up at me and the answer was plain to see
         Bm7     E             Amaj9  Bm7         Amaj9  Bm7
'Cause I saw the light in your eyes       in your eyes

VERSE 3:
          Bm7     E
Though we had our fling
       Bm7                   E
I just never would suspect a thing
          Bm7                  E
'Til that little bell began to ring
      Amaj7       C#m7
In my head, in my head

VERSE 4:
      Bm7      E
But I tried to run
         Bm7                      E
Though I knew it wouldn't help me none
         Bm7                   E            Amaj7  A7
'Cause I couldn't ever love no one, or so I said
       Dmaj7        C#m7          F#m               B7
But my feelings for you were just something I never knew
       Bm7     E             Amaj9  Bm7         Amaj9  Bm7
'Til I saw the light in your eyes       in your eyes

SOLO:  Bm7   E (x3)  Amaj7  C#m7

VERSE 5:
      Bm7      E
But I love you best
         Bm7                     E
It's not something that I say in jest
              Bm7                         E           Amaj7  A7
'Cause you're different girl from all the rest, in my eyes
      Dmaj7     C#m7       F#m            B7
And I ran out before but I won't do it anymore
          Bm7     E           Amaj9  Bm7       Amaj9  Bm7
Can't you see the light in my eyes       in my eyes
      Amaj9  Bm7       Amaj9  Bm7
In my eyes       in my eyes
