              E
It's just a thought
But I've noticed something strange,
         D            Bm
Getting harder to explain;
         A                       F#m
All the years are passing bye and bye,
                E
Still I don't know what makes it go;
 G           D               A
Who said to wait and you'll see?

Chorus:
              E
It's just a thought
But I wondered if you knew
          D              Bm
That the song up there is you.
      A                            F#m
They can't take it from you if you don’t
          E
give it away, don't give it away,
Ooh, It's given away

It's just a thought
But the word has come too late
That a bad idea will take
Just about a lifetime to explain
And don't you see
Good one's going to be much longer
Who's going to wait, just to see?
