Verse 1

D       G                 D
Upon my word what does it mean?
      G             D
Is it love or is it me
              A
That makes me change so suddenly
             Bm            G         D  G
From looking out to feeling free?

Verse 2

D          G           D
I sit here lying in my bed
          G             D
Wondering what it was I said
             A
That made me think I lost my head
              Bm              G        D  Bm
When I knew I lost my heart instead

Chorus

Bm        G              D
won't you please read my signs
     Bm
Be a gypsy
        G              D            Bm
Tell me what I hope to find deep within me
        G               D
Because you can find my mind
          Bm           G
Please be with me

Verse 3

D          G                  D
Of all the better things I've heard
       G                D
Loving you has made the words
            A
And all the rest seem so absurd
              Bm                      G         D Bm
'Cause in the end it all comes out I'm sure

Chorus

Bm        G              D
Won't you please read my signs
     Bm
Be a gypsy
        G              D            Bm
Tell me what I hope to find deep within me
        G               D
Because you can find my mind
          Bm           G
Please be with me

End on G
