D      G                  D
Oh my word, what does it mean
D      G            D
Is it love or is it me
D               A
That makes me change so suddenly
        Bm             G
Looking out, feeling free

Sit here lying in my bed
Wondering what it was I'd said
That made me think I'd lost my head
When I knew I lost my heart instead

Chorus:
 C             G             D          Em
So won't you please read my signs, be a gypsy
          G             D           Em
Tell me what I hope to find deep within me
         G               D               Bm    G D
Because you can find my mind, please be with me

Of all the better things I've heard
Loving you has made the words
And all the rest seem so absurd
Because in the end it all comes out unsure

Chorus
