Intro (and fills between verses)
This is done with a walk-down sound playing
D – D +c# - Em7 - G 1 - F#m 1 - Em7 - A7 - D
VERSE 1
D D +c# Em7 D
You say you want to be a gypsy 'cos there's wanderlust in your soul
G 1 F#m 1 Em7 A7
but someone or something always holds you back
D D +c# Em7 D
You say that doors are closed to you but you never really try to get through.
G 1 F#m 1 Em7 A7
So how can you make it along that freedom track?
F#m7 Bm F#m7 Bm
When what you call Fate is only Fear renamed
G 1 F#m 1 Em7 G A7
and you take it out on others when there's only you to blame!
G 1 F#m 1 Em7 D G
But every time that you're with me, you always act the same
Em7 A7
you're like a caged bird trying out his wings
CHORUS 1:
G D G D
But you're so laid back and you're so held back
G 1 F#m 1 Em7 A7
and you seem afraid to let anything come through
G 1 F#m 1 Em7 D G
Until you find that inner freedom you'll be a gypsy without a road
Em7 A7
and 'til the light of that truth comes shining through,
Em7 A7 D
I know all I can do is just go on loving you
VERSE 2
D D +c# Em7 D
You say you want to be a poet and I know you've a lot to say
G 1 F#m 1 Em7 A7
So how come the words seem to fail you every time?
D D +c# Em7 D
When all your memories and your feelings are just crying for release
G 1 F#m 1 Em7 A7
why try to drown their voices down in wine?
F#m7 Bm F#m7 Bm
Oh you'll forget them tonight - but tomorrow they'll return,
G 1 F#m 1 Em7 G A7
like an old, unanswered letter that a dying fire can't burn
G 1 F#m 1 Em7 G A7
It'll just mock you from the ashes 'til the lesson you have learned
Em7 A7
That there's no ending to the poem that is you
CHORUS 2:
G D G D
But you're so laid back and you're so held back
G 1 F#m 1 Em7 A7
and you seem afraid to let anything come through
G 1 F#m 1 Em7 D G
Until you find that inner freedom you'll be a poet without a rhyme
Em7 A7
and 'til the light of that truth comes shining through,
Em7 A7 D
I know all I can do is just go on loving you
VERSE 3
D D +c# Em7 D
You say you want to be a believer but the world keeps letting you down
G 1 F#m 1 Em7 A7
but remember these words - to thine own self be true.
D D +c# Em7 D
'Cos if you look deep down inside yourself and you're not at peace with what you find,
G 1 F#m 1 Em7 A7
What can you expect the world to make of you?
F#m7 Bm F#m7 Bm
Oh I know it's nice and cosy, hiding in your shell,
G 1 F#m 1 Em7 G A7
But the gypsy and the poet they are locked in there as well
G 1 F#m 1 Em7 G A7
and someone I can touch at last may be there - who can tell?
Em7 A7
Does it help to know that I still believe in you?
CHORUS 3:
G D G D
Although you're so laid back and you're so held back
G 1 F#m 1 Em7 A7
and you seem afraid to let anything come through
G 1 F#m 1 Em7 D G
Until you find that inner freedom you're going to need a helping hand
Em7 A7
and as the light of that truth has come shining through
Em7 A7 D
I know all I will do is just go on loving you
