C
In the eyes of the world

I'm a loser just wastin' my time

I can't make a dime
C
In the eyes of the world

Like a hero, a giant

A man who's as tall as can be

Any fool can see

Dm7 G7 C Dm7/C
That she's looking through the eyes of love

Looking through the eyes of love

Looking through the eyes of love
Bb/C C
When she looks at me
verse 2:
In the eyes of the crowd
I'm a do-nothin' kind of a guy
Who just live and die
In the eyes of the crowd
I'm another poor Joe on the street
Can't get on my feet
But in the eyes of my woman they're wrong
I'm a king and a lover
As strong and as brave as can be
Any fool can see
(repeat chorus)

She's making me believe some day
Db Ebm7/Db
Someday I'm gonna find a way
Db Ebm7/Db
To be the man that she can see
Db
When she looks at me
Ebm7/Db Db
Looking through they eyes of love [repeat to fade]
