        WE TELL OURSELVES      Clint Black

G
I ought to know the look in another's eyes
                                 D
When there's something on their mind
    C                                 G
I think I saw that look in a lover's eyes
                      D
They were looking into mine
          C
Like we both have found the one we want
                                        D
But found the one we wanted just quit trying

CHORUS:
       G
So we tell ourselves that what we found
                      D
is what we meant to find
                G
That's what we tell ourselves you won't believe
                               D
the things a heart can tell a mind
            G
Somehow we sell ourselves on love
        A                                            D
I just don't think I ought to believe my heart this time

   G
I oughta know the language well
                                           D
I've heard me tell myself these things before
   C
I finally made my mind up
                                         D
My heart tells me to look for something more
 C
Determined not to wind up wondering was she the one
                       D
Well you never can be sure


chorus, lead, chorus, Insrumental (jamming) to end
