What's On Your Mind
View chords used in this chart
Em
You were at my door
I heard you knocking but I didn't care at all
D
I had been in all night just staring at the wall
Em
I didn't really want to see you any more
Coming from the road
You took your coat off and you threw it on the floor
D
You said 'I can't believe you wanna hurt me so'
C
I said 'I'm not supposed to be like this you know'
Em
Well I just had to let you go
[Refrão]
G D Em
What's on your mind?
G D Em
When you're lost in time
G D C
What's on your mind, tell me why
Em
Why does it have to be this way?
verse 2:
Em
You were in that dream
That I was dreaming I was dreaming in a dream
D
Your nylon dress and I was floating back downstream
Em
I wanted love to come and swallow everything
Solo: ( Em Em D Em )
Em
Everything gets real
Sooner or later, it doesn't matter how you feel
D
You slam that door shut on the night of glass and steel
C
I cannot blame you for believing what you believe
Em
Well I just had to let you go
[Refrão]

What's on your mind?
G D Em
When you're lost in time

Why does it have to be this way?
Bridge:
C
Why do you always stay
G
Miles away?

And two steps behind
Am
Where the past is still living

Beautiful and forgiven

Do you not see?
D
That you're living a dream
