Sting – I Love Her But She Loves Someone Else chords

 [Verse 1]
 AmWhen a man of my age shaves his face in the morning
 E                                  DmWho is it that stares back and greets him?
    Dm                       GThe ghost of his father long dead all these years?
       Dm                     FOr the boy that he was, still wet in the ears?
       E                   AmOr the terrible sum of all of his fears
       B                               AmIn the eyes of this stranger who meets him?
       AmSo his glance rarely strays from his chin or his jawline
   E                           DmTo face up to the truth of his soul
         Dm                GIt's the eyes he avoids so afraid to acknowledge
          F                    GSomething strange, unexpected, out of control
          CThere are times when a man needs to brave his reflection
    G                         AmAnd face what he sees without fear
           Am                FIt takes a man to accept his mortality
      Dm                             EOr be surprised by the presence of a tear
       Am                      DmIt was only an arrangement, a practical arrangement
  B                                   EI forgot the first commandment of the realist's handbook
         Am                      DmDon't be fooled by illusions you created yourself
    B                                   E             AmAnd fall in love with someone, when she loves someone else


[Chorus]
       Am                    ELike a covering of snow on a winter's night
   Dm                              C   GIt glistens and it sparkles in the moonlight
         Am                                  CBut it's gone by the morning, how quickly it melts
Fm                         Dm            AmYou still love her but she loves someone else

B

[Verse 2]
    EmAnd where does that leave you?
    BYou self-styled man of vision
    G                             EYou feel stupid, you feel angry, are you losing your mind?
   Am                          ETo destroy the one she loves, does that become your mission?
       E                         AmLike a pantomime villain with an axe to grind?
   Dm                                  EmTo regain your self-respect, hold your head up like a man
        Am                               DmUse the ice around your heart before it melts
               Am                           Dm      AmBut you're not fooling anybody, you're only fooling yourself


[Chorus]
       F                     A#mLike a covering of snow on a winter's night
   G#                              C#It glistens and it sparkles in the moonlight
         F                                   C#But it's gone by the morning, how quickly it melts
              Gm         F#          F             A#mAnd still you still love her but she loves someone else
