[Intro]
G

[Verse]
G              D
Started out so innocent
Em             C             G
Everything was simple and so plain
G            D
She was in a doorway
   Em             C                G
And I was walking nowhere down the main

    D
She whispered something softly
    C                G
And stepped into the light
D
Can you help me out she said
      C             G
I'm a little lost tonight

[Chorus]
G       D         C               G
One day love just hits you with a flash
G              D               C        G
Lights go off around you like some photograph

[Verse]
    G                  D
She said her bags were stolen
         Em               C             G
All they left her was the camera on her arm
    G               D
She told me she was new in town
Em      C                 G
   Only two weeks off the farm

    D
Oh, why did I believe her
C           G
Heaven only knows
D
One look in my eyes
           C          G
And all my resolution goes

[Chorus]
G       D         C               G
One day love just hits you with a flash
G                  D             C        G
Leaves you staring blindly like some photograph

[Bridge]
Em                    D
Pictures of two fools laughing at the world
C                         G
Smiling as only good luck does
Em                       D
Truth is you're not even looking at me girl
Am
All the time I was falling
C
You kept on stalling
Am                         D
Sizing up how big a fool I was

[Bridge]
Em                    D
Pictures of two fools laughing at the world
C                         G
Smiling as only good luck does
Em                       D
Truth is you're not even looking at me girl
Am
All the time I was falling
C
You kept on stalling
Am                         D
Sizing up how big a fool I was

[Verse]
G              D
Woke up in the morning
        Em               C               G
I don't think that I had been asleep too long
    G                 D
The room was dark and empty
        Em              C                      G
I could see that all my clothes and money were gone

         D
Oh, I've run out of excuses
    C            G
And people I can blame
    D
But if she ever asked me to
    C          G
I'd do it all again

[Chorus]
G       D         C               G
One day love just hits you with a flash
G                  D             C        G
Leaves you staring blindly like some photograph
