also on the Clapton version which this is based on - If you want to play a simpler version
then use the chords above the lyrics which work well both with the band and for a solo version.
If you want to use this to play along with Clapton's version then transpose down to 2 steps to D
 flat.

 All along I had to talk about it, like a two-edged sword it cuts you and it stabs me
Eb                           B           Db                              Bbm7              Bb

Eb                    B            Db                              Bbm7           Bb
 Yesterday he had you in his arms, when I'm holding you I feel his bitter charms

I can't judge what you do to me, camouflage the truth indulge your fantasy
           Eb          B              Db                 Bbm7  Bb
Who do you love? Is it me, now? Is it him, babe? I don't know

(There is nothing in your eyes) There is nothing in your eyes
     Gbmaj7
(But that's the way you cry) But that's the way you cry, girl
 Bmaj7
(All is grand, all is bright) All is grand, all is bright
 Gbmaj7
(You're just studying my mind) I'm just confused, babe
 Bmaj7
(There is nothing in your eyes) There is nothing in your eyes
     Gbmaj7
(But that's the way you cry) But that's the way you cry, baby
 Bmaj7                                                     Gbmaj7                     C

 You say you love, but it's hard to see, 'cause when you're in his arms, throwing rocks at me
           Eb          B              Db                 Bbm7  Bb

(You're just studying my mind) Heee Heee, Heee Heee
 Bmaj7
(There is nothing in your eyes)
     Gbmaj7

 Walk around, I’m suffering in my doom, when I come to you, you're sitting in your room
Eb                        B                Db                             Bbm7           Bb
