[Intro]
G
 
[Verse]
G              D
Started out so innocent
Em             C             G
Everything was simple and so 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
 
[Chorus]
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
 
[Verse]
    G                  D
She said her bags were stolen
         Em               C             G
All they left her was the camera on her arm
    G               D
She told me she was new in town
Em      C                 G
   Only two weeks off the farm
 
    D
Oh, why did I believe her
C           G
Heaven only knows
D
One look in my eyes
           C          G
And all my resolution goes
 
[Chorus]
G       D         C               G
One day love just hits you with a flash
G                  D             C        G
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
 
[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
 
[Verse]
G              D
Woke up in the morning
        Em               C               G
I don't think that I had been asleep too long
    G                 D
The room was dark and empty
        Em              C                      G
I could see that all my clothes and money were gone
 
         D
Oh, I've run out of excuses
    C            G
And people I can blame
    D
But if she ever asked me to
    C          G
I'd do it all again
 
[Chorus]
G       D         C               G
One day love just hits you with a flash
G                  D             C        G
Leaves you staring blindly like some photograph

These tabs are excellent. One thing though is that you messed up some words ^^; Instead of it being "started out so simple, everything so innocent and so plain" it's "started out so innocent, everything to simple and so plain". You just switched simple and innocent places. Otherwise, awesome awesome tabs! :)

Chords are accurate. Instrumental follows verse after second chorus. Outro instrumental follows chorus.

nice tab
