The riff is played throughout the 
intro and verse - On this version by
 Philliganes and
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.

Eb    B    Db    Bbm   Bb (x4)

[Verse]
Eb                  B             
 All along I had to talk about it,
 Db                                
 like a two-edged sword it cuts you
 Bbm7           Bb
 and it stabs me
Eb                           B   
 All along I knew you were a 
        Db                         
phony girl, you sit behind the mask
     Bbm7              Bb
 and you control your world
Eb                    B           
 Yesterday he had you in his arms,
 Db                              
 when I'm holding you I feel his 
Bbm7           Bb
bitter charms
Eb                     B         
I can't judge what you do to me, 
Db                                
camouflage the truth indulge your 
Bbm7      Bb
fantasy
           Eb          B          
Who do you love? Is it me, now? Is
    Db                 Bbm7  Bb
 it him, babe? I don't know
           Eb          B          
Who do you love? Is it me, babe? 
     Db                Bbm7  Bb
Is it him, now? I don't know

 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, 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                             
(All is grand, all is bright) All 
                        Gbmaj7     
is grand, all is bright (You're 
                C
just studying my mind)


[Verse]
Eb                     B          
 Was I invited to your masquerade,
 Db                                
 well the party's over, so now take
 Bbm7           Bb
 off the face
Eb                          B    
 You say you love, but it's hard 
         Db                      
to see, 'cause when you're in his 
                Bbm7        Bb
arms, throwing rocks at me
           Eb          B          
Who do you love? Is it me, now? Is
    Db                 Bbm7  Bb
 it him, babe? I don't know
           Eb          B          
Who do you love? Is it me, babe? 
     Db                Bbm7  Bb
Is it him, now? I don't know

[Chorus]
 Bmaj7
(There is nothing in your eyes) 
There is nothing in your eyes
     Gbmaj7
(But that's the way you cry) 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) Heee 
Heee, Heee Heee
 Bmaj7
(There is nothing in your eyes)
     Gbmaj7
(But that's the way you cry)  
Oooowww!
 Bmaj7                             
(All is grand, all is bright) All 
          Gbmaj7                   
is bright (You're just studying my 
  C
mind)

         Bbm7          Bb
sitting in your room
Eb                        B      
 The truth is new, I have longed
