G               Em
The animals are wonderful
       Am             F             G
Such a vision in the sun, how they lay low
   G                            Em
I catch my breath and count my dough
      Am            F         G7      F
And I only live to run and I need to go
 Em             Am
You and I were born and
      F        G7        F   Em
I'll make you make your mind up
 E7   C 
Oh me

She always knew
She'll always know
That I loved her oh so well, but I need to go
You and I were born and
I'll make you make your mind up
Oh me

 Am             F             G7     F
You and I were born with the same design
 Em             Am         F        G7        F   Em
Nothing in the world will make you make your mind up
 Am          F         G7      F
If I had a choice I'd wait to find
 Em              Am        F       G7      F   Em
Nothing in your eyes will tell me where you'll lie
 E7   C 
Oh me
