Temptations, Just My Imagination (1971)
Key: :[B] (w: Norman Whitfield, Barrett Strong)
INTRO: [B] Oooooh
[C#m7] [B] [C#m7]
VERSE 1:
Each
[B] day through my window I
[C#m7] watch her as she passes
[B] by
[C#m7]
I
[B] say to myself, you're
[C#m7] such a lucky
[B] guy
[C#m7]
[B] To have a girl like
[C#m7] her, is truly a
[B] dream come
[C#m7] true
Out of
[B] all the fellas in the
[C#m7] world, she be-
[B]-longs to you
[C#m7]
CHORUS 1:
But it was
[B] just my imagination
[C#m7],
[B] runnin' away with me
[C#m7]
It was
[B] just my imaginat-
[C#m7]-ion, runnin' a-
[B]-way with me
[C#m7]
VERSE 2:
[B] Soon, soon we'll be
[C#m7] married and raise a
[B] family
[C#m7]
A
[B] cozy little home out in the
[C#m7] country, with two
[B] children, maybe three
[C#m7]
I tell you,
[B] I
[C#m7], I can
[B] visualize it
[C#m7] all
This
[B] couldn't be a dream, I
[C#m7] tell you how real it
[B] all seems
[C#m7]
REPEAT CHORUS:
BRIDGE:
[B] Every night, on my knees, I pray; dear Lord, hear my plea
Don't ever let another take her love from me
Or I would
[F#7] surely die, her love is
[B] heavenly
When her arms enfold me, I feel a tender Rhapsody
But in reality, she doesn't even know me
REPEAT CHORUS:
