Verse 1:
Bm G A
After all we said today
F#m G Em
The strangest thought occurred
Bm G A
I feel I ought to tell you
D G D
But it's clearly quite absurd
Bm G A
Wouldn't it be wonderful
F#m G Em
If you could read my mind
Bm G A
Imagine all the stuff
D G D A
That we could leave behind
Chorus:
Bm F#m
How many words you waste
G Em A
Before you're understood
Bm F#m
Or simply sow some seeds
G D
You'd do it if you could
A Bm
Let me take a moment
G Em C F#
Of your time Aaaah
Bm
Inside you mind
