Verse 1:
C                Dm7
They asked how I knew,

G7               C     C+  F
my true love was true, oh, oh.

Cdim        Cmaj7
I of course replied:

Am7               Dm7   G7          C
"Something here inside, cannot be denied".
Break: C Bbdim Dm7 G+ Verse 2:
C                          Dm7
They said, some day you’ll find

G7                 C      C+  F
all whose love are blind, oh, oh.

Cdim                 Cmaj7
When your heart’s on fire,

Am7         Dm7   G7                 C
You must realize, smoke gets in your eyes.
Bridge: C F C D#7 Chorus:
Ab                    
So I chaffed them and gaily laughed,

Abmaj7              Bbm7 Am7 Bb7 D#7 
to think they could doubt my love.

Ab                     G7     
Yet today, my love has flown away,

     C      Cmaj7 G7 G+
I am without my love.
Verse 3:
C                      Dm7
Now laughing friends deride,

G7             C     C+  F
Tears I cannot hide, oh, oh.

Cdim           Cmaj7
So I smile and say:

Am7                  Dm7
“When a lovely flame dies,

G7                 C
Smoke gets in your eyes.
Finale:
         F
…in your eyes

C                  Fmaj C+
Smoke gets in your eyes

Dm7        Em/G    Cmaj7
Smoke gets in your eyes
