Tom: D
intro D G D G
D
Hold that lantern up high,
G A
I could have gone anywhere.
A
If by chance dawn don't make it home tonight,
G D
well thats alright with me.
D
You would hold out your arms
G A
and we dance with enraptured embrace.
What I thought was so strong was a love thats now gone
G D
so far away from me.
CHORUS
G A
And if I had been a gypsy back then,
D G
I couldn't read this gypsy deck of hearts.
G A
From where I stand now, in front of this crowd,
D G
I still can't read this gypsy deck of hearts.
A
Were the lights too dim, were my eyes too blind,
G D
to read this gypsy deck of hearts .
A
Was a heart too strong, that made our love go wrong,
G D
right from the Start.
D
I thought that you were the one,
G A
back when my dreams were still young.
A
The confessions we made, and the promises pledged,
G D
behind the old brickyard wall.
D
In the beat of a heart
G D
where time kind of slides away.
A
For every place that you roam, there's a heart to call home,
G D
but you can't seem to stay.
G A
And if I had been a gypsy back then,
D G
I couldn't read this gypsy deck of hearts.
G A
From where I stand now, in front of this crowd,
D G
I still can't read this gypsy deck of hearts.
Oh no,
D G
D G
I can't read this gypsy deck of hearts.
D G
I can't read this gypsy deck of hearts.
