I Love Her But She Loves Someone Else chords by Sting

Chords with lyrics

Verse 1:
 A minorAm
When a man of my age shaves his face in the morning
 E MajorE                 DmDm
Who is it that stares back and greets him?
  DmDm            G+G
The ghost of his father long dead all these years?
    DmDm           FF
Or the boy that he was, still wet in the ears?
    E MajorE          A minorAm
Or the terrible sum of all of his fears
    BB                A minorAm
In the eyes of this stranger who meets him?
    A minorAm
So his glance rarely strays from his chin or his jawline
  E MajorE              DmDm
To face up to the truth of his soul
     DmDm        G+G
It's the eyes he avoids so afraid to acknowledge
     FF          G+G
Something strange, unexpected, out of control
     C majorC
There are times when a man needs to brave his reflection
  G+G             A minorAm
And face what he sees without fear
      A minorAm        FF
It takes a man to accept his mortality
   DmDm               E MajorE
Or be surprised by the presence of a tear
    A minorAm           DmDm
It was only an arrangement, a practical arrangement
 BB                  E MajorE
I forgot the first commandment of the realist's handbook
     A minorAm           DmDm
Don't be fooled by illusions you created yourself
  BB                  E MajorE       A minorAm
And fall in love with someone, when she loves someone else


    A minorAm          E MajorE
Like a covering of snow on a winter's night
  DmDm               C majorC  G+G
It glistens and it sparkles in the moonlight
     A minorAm                 C majorC
But it's gone by the morning, how quickly it melts
F minorFm             DmDm      A minorAm
You still love her but she loves someone else

BB

Verse 2:
  E minorEm
And where does that leave you?
  BB
You self-styled man of vision
  G+G               E MajorE
You feel stupid, you feel angry, are you losing your mind?
  A minorAm             E MajorE
To destroy the one she loves, does that become your mission?
    E MajorE             A minorAm
Like a pantomime villain with an axe to grind?
  DmDm                 E minorEm
To regain your self-respect, hold your head up like a man
    A minorAm                DmDm
Use the ice around your heart before it melts
        A minorAm              DmDm   A minorAm
But you're not fooling anybody, you're only fooling yourself


    FF           A#mA#m
Like a covering of snow on a winter's night
  G#G#               C#C#
It glistens and it sparkles in the moonlight
     FF                  C#C#
But it's gone by the morning, how quickly it melts
       G minorGm     F#F#     FF       A#mA#m
And still you still love her but she loves someone else
