Wish I Were Blind Chords & Lyrics - Bruce Springsteen

Intro: [G]

[VERSE 1]

I love to [G]see cottonwood blossom in the e[C]arly spring
I love to [D]see the message of love that the [G]bluebird brings.
But when I [C]see you [D]walkin' with him [G]down [Dadd9]along the [Em]strand
Well I wish I [C]were blind, w[D]hen I see you with[G] your man.

I love to [G]see your hair shining in the long [C]summer's light.
I love to [D]watch the stars fill the sky on a su[G]mmer night.
Music [C]plays, you take his [D]hand,
I watch how you [G]touch him as you [Dadd9]start to [Em]dance
And I wish I were [C]blind, when I[D] see you with your[G] man. [Dadd9]

[C]We struggle here but [D]all our love's in [G]vain
Oh these eye[C]s that once filled me with your bea[D]uty
Now [G]fill me with [C]pain. [G]
[C]And the light that once [D]entered here
Is [G]banished from me. [Dadd9] [Em]
Oh, and this [C]darkness is all baby that [D]my heart sees.

And though this [C]world is filled with the
[D]Grace and beauty [G]of God's ha[Dadd9]nd, [Em]
Oh I wish I we[C]re blind, whe[D]n I see you with y[G]our man.

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