Key: A  (Capo on 2nd fret.  Chords shown for key of G.)

Intro: G

G              D
Started out so simple
Em            C            G
Everything so innocent and 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
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

She said her bags were stolen
All they left her was the camera on her arm
She told me she was new in town
Only two weeks off the farm

Why did I believe her
Heaven only knows
She looked into my eyes
And my resolution goes
One day love just hits you with a flash
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

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

I've run out of excuses
And people I can blame
If she ever asked me too
I'd do it all again
One day love just hits you with a flash
Leaves you staring blindly like some photograph
