Temptations, Just My Imagination (1971)
Key: :[A#] (w: Norman Whitfield, Barrett Strong)
INTRO: [A#] Oooooh
[Cm7] [A#] [Cm7]
VERSE 1:
Each
[A#] day through my window I
[Cm7] watch her as she passes
[A#] by
[Cm7]
I
[A#] say to myself, you're
[Cm7] such a lucky
[A#] guy
[Cm7]
[A#] To have a girl like
[Cm7] her, is truly a
[A#] dream come
[Cm7] true
Out of
[A#] all the fellas in the
[Cm7] world, she be-
[A#]-longs to you
[Cm7]
CHORUS 1:
But it was
[A#] just my imagination
[Cm7],
[A#] runnin' away with me
[Cm7]
It was
[A#] just my imaginat-
[Cm7]-ion, runnin' a-
[A#]-way with me
[Cm7]
VERSE 2:
[A#] Soon, soon we'll be
[Cm7] married and raise a
[A#] family
[Cm7]
A
[A#] cozy little home out in the
[Cm7] country, with two
[A#] children, maybe three
[Cm7]
I tell you,
[A#] I
[Cm7], I can
[A#] visualize it
[Cm7] all
This
[A#] couldn't be a dream, I
[Cm7] tell you how real it
[A#] all seems
[Cm7]
REPEAT CHORUS:
BRIDGE:
[A#] 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
[F7] surely die, her love is
[A#] heavenly
When her arms enfold me, I feel a tender Rhapsody
But in reality, she doesn't even know me
