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

I know what you're thinking
But I don't know what to say
The turmoil and the conflict
You don't have to feel that way
Look into my eyes
And feel my hand upon your heart
Holding us together
Not tearing us apart

Chorus:
How many words we waste
To justify a crime
Compare it to an act of love
That really takes no time
Why not take a moment
Of your time
Inside your mind

How many words I wasted
You don't want to hear
Why don't sit in silence why money
Why don't take a moment
Of your time
Inside your mind

After all this same today
a strange thought occurred
I feel I should tell you
its clearly quite absurd
