Imitating you

Your image floats two feet above the ground

I'm flying like a star, a star taker

Taking light from the sky

Teasing all the people with pictures of you

Cause it's a holiday surprise

🎸 Interlude 3:
E C (x6)


🎸 Verse 3:
E5            C
Remember the beliefs we had back then
E5             C
Said we'd never change our minds
E5              C
But oh and then again
E5               C
All the dreams were just early plans
E5               C
Well please, please


Second 🎸 Chorus:
Am             G           F
Don't you ever change your mind on me
Am             G           F
Don't you ever change your mind on me


🎸 Verse 4:
E5                    C
Conflict in our heads makes us see
E5                    C
Without the depth that we're used to
E5                    C
All of the problems in our way
E5                    C
Make it so very hard to say
E5              C
Well please, please


Second 🎸 Chorus:
Am             G           F
Don't you ever change your mind on me
Am             G           F
Don't you ever change your mind on me
