G  G/A#    G      G/A#     G  G/A# G G/A#
Now my suspicion's on the rise
I have known, I have known your kind
Please don't talk, don't make me think
Order up another drink
Let me let imagination drive

Chorus:
F            F+
Can't you see, I need
A#maj7  G
Nothing too deep
Am    D     Am     D
Imagination Come alive
Am  D    C  G/B           D
Suspicion Tonight, I'll dream tonight

Listen to the devils in my ear
Tell me what, what I want to hear
You're so funny, you're so fine
You're so perfect, you're so mine
That I never had an opportunity to hide
No, I never had a chance
No, I never had a chance

Chorus

A# Am C           G
    Look into my eyes
      A#            Am
They hipnotize The lights, the drinks
 F
Let the music carry you away

My eyes are blurred My sights are limited
Am I sensing a familiar twinge?

Chorus:
Please don't speak
Make me think
It's all too deep
Imagination
Come alive, suspicion
Step down, I'll dream tonight
Step down, I'll dream
You're so naked baby
Carry me away
Dream, dream
Carry me away
Dream, dream
Dream, dream
Dream, dream
Dream, dream
