I Wish I Were Blind

Bruce Springsteen

   G                              C
1. I love to see cottonwoods blossom in the early spring
   D                                G
   I love to see the message of love that the bluebird brings.
   C       D               
   But when I see you walking 
   G              Em
   with him down along the strand
   C            D                 G
   I wish I were blind when I see you with your man.
   
2. I love to see your hair shining in the long summer's light.
   I love to watch as stars fill the sky on a summer night.
   Music plays, you take his hand,
   I watch how you touch him as you start to dance
   And I wish I were blind when I see you with your man.

   C                    D                 G
R: We struggle here but all our love's in vain
   C                                  D
   Well, these eyes that once filled me with your beauty
   G            C      G
   Now fill me with pain.
   C                       D
   And the light that once centered here
   G                Em
   Is banished from me.
   C                         D
   Oh, and this darkness is all baby that my heart sees.
   C
   And though this world is filled with the
   D                G          Em
   Grace and beauty of God's hand,
   C            D                 G
   I wish I were blind when I see you with your man.

R: We struggle here but all...

   Oh, I wish I were blind when I see you with your man.
   Oh, I wish I were blind when I see you with your man.
