[Ebm]
[Ebm]
[Ebm] [Ab] Ooh, [Ebm] I bet you wonder how I knew
All [Bb] your [Ebm] plans to make me blue
With some other guy you knew before
Between the two [Bb] of us guys [Ebm] you know I love you more
[Db] It took [Cm] me by [Eb] surprise, [Ab] I'm afraid
When [Eb] I found [Ab] yesterday
But you know [Eb] that I've [Eb] got a great mind
Not [Ab] much longer would you be mine
But [Eb] I've got a great mind
I'd [Ab] love to [Ebm] lose my [Ab]
[Ebm] mind
Well, but [Bb] the tears [Ebm] I can't hold inside
[Bbm]
[Ebm] Losing you would end my life you see
Cause [Bb] you mean that much [Ebm] to me
You [Cm] could have [Eb] told me [Ab] yourself
That [Eb] you loved [Ab] someone else
Instead [Eb] I heard [Eb] you'd a great mind
Not [Ab] much longer would you be mine
[Eb] [Eb] And [Ab] I'm done [Eb] [Ab]
[Ebm] with your world
[Fm]
[Ebm] People [Ab] [Ebm] say me neither but what you see
Son, [Bb] I know [Ebm] not what you hear
But I can't help being confused
If [Bb] it's true, [Ebm] please tell me dear
Do [Eb] you plan to let [Ab] me go
For the [Eb] other guy you love [Cm] before
Don't you know [Eb] I heard you'd a great mind
Not [Ab] much longer would you be mine
Baby, [Eb] I heard you'd a great mind
Ooh, [Ab] [Ebm] [Ab]
[Ebm] just there
Honey, honey, would you let me go
And I heard you'd a great mind
