            E 
It's just a thought 
          E4                  E 
But I've noticed somethin' strange, 
          D    A/C#   Bm 
Gettin' harder to explain, 
A                   A/G#           F#m 
All the years are passin' by and by, 
         E        E4             E 
Still I don't know what makes it go, 
G            D                 A 
Who said to wait and you'll see? 
E 
It's just a thought, 
        E4             E
But I wondered if you knew, 
         D      A/C#      Bm
That the song up there is you. 
A                   A/G#           F#m            E     E4
They can't take it from you if you don't  give it away, 
              E    E4                 E     E4 E E4
Don't give it away, Ooooh, it's given away.

            E
It's just a thought, 
             E4            E
But the word has come too late, 
     D      A/C#       Bm
That a bad idea will take, 
A             A/G#          F#m
Just about a lifetime to explain. 
               E   E4
And don't you see, 
                          E
Good one's gonna be much longer, 
G            D              A
Who's gonna wait, just to see?
