  			C            F           C           G7 
I can lose myself in the beauty of a song 

      F                                  C 
I can climb to the top of a cloud in the sky 

                       F              C        F 
I can soar through the heavens like a graceful eagle 

      C              F          G7     C 
I can swing from the wings of a butter-fly 


                F             C             G7 
I can chase the wind down the canyons of my mind 

      F                                C 
I can catch it in the corner of my memory 

                        F              C                G7 
I can make it breathe a breath of life into an old love that has died 

    F               G7          C 
And I can stand and reminisce a while 


      F          C     F               C 
In my mind I can be anything I want to be 

      F          C     F               C 
In my mind I can do anything I want to do 

  F            G7          C 
Except make my mind forget you 


             F              C          F 
I can take a journey to the end of the rainbow 

      C            F        C              G7 
I can go there and back and never leave my room 

C              F         C           F 
I can change a heartache into a tiny snowflake 

    C          F            G7           C 
And I can take December and turn it into June 


      F          C     F               C 
In my mind I can be anything I want to be 

      F          C     F               C 
In my mind I can do anything I want to do 

  F            G7          C 
Except make my mind forget you
