    I ought to know the look in another's eyes,
                               D
    when the shot is on their minds.
       C                                 G
    I think I saw that look in a lover's eyes
                            D
    they were lookin me in mine.
              C
     Like we both had found the woman we wanted,
           G                                 D
    that found the one we wanted, just quit trying.

       G
So we tell ourselves, that what we found
                     D
is what we meant to find.
                G
That's what we tell ourselves, you won't believe the things
     F           C        D
the heart would tell the mind.
           Em
Somehow we sell ourselves on love,
        G                    A                  D
I just don't think, I'll believe my heart this time.

   C
    I ought to know the language well,
          G                                   D
    I've heard me tell myself these things before.
           C
    I've finally made my mind up,
         G                                   D
    my heart tells me to look for something more.
         C
     To turn the knot, to wind up one,
        G                                  D
    was she the one, you can never be too sure.

       G
So we tell ourselves, that what we found
                     D
is what we meant to find.
                G
