Introdução: C Gdim Dm7 Bb9 A5-/7 G7 Fdim  C Cdim  Dm9 Fdim C/9 
 
 
G7      C  Gdim    Dm7  G7    C       G7/13-    Gdim     A7                  
Imagination      is funny       it makes a cloudy day sunny 
Dm     Dm7+         Dm7         Dm6     Gdim  A7     Fdim G7   
Makes a bee think of honey, just as  I  think of you 
    C       Gdim     Dm7 G7   C     G7/13-     Gdim     A7 
Imagination      is crazy,  your whole perspective gets hazy 
Dm        Dm7+     Dm7    Dm6     C7M   Am        Gm7 C7   
Starts you asking a daisy what to do,   what to do 
E  F  Dm7         Cdim   B7 
Have you ever felt a gentle touch 
  Em7    A7       G/Bb       A7  G/B 
And then a kiss, and then, and then 
        Em7            Am7  Cdim   G4/7    G7/13- 
Find it's only your imagination  again,  oh, well 
G7  C       Gdim     Dm7 G7 
Imagination     is silly 
  C    G7/13-     Gdim   A7 
You go around willynilly 
Dm    Dm7+     Dm7        Dm6     Bb9 Gdim 
For example, I go around wanting you 
     Dm7    Bb9         A5-/7 G7 Fdim   C Cdim Dm9 Fdim C6/9 
And yet I can't imagine that you want me, too 
 
Interlude: G7 C Gdim Dm7 G7 C G7/13- Gdim A7 Dm Dm7+ Dm7 Dm6

E  F      Dm7         Cdim   B7 
Have you ever felt a gentle touch 
  Em7    A7     G/Bb       A7     G/B 
And then a kiss, and then, and then 
          Em7            Am7  Cdim       G4/7       G7/13- 
Find it's only your imagination     again?   Oh, well 
G7  C         Gdim     Dm7         G7 
Imagination       is silly 
   C     G7/13-        Gdim    A7 
You go around willynilly 
Dm    Dm7+     Dm7        Dm6     Bb9  Gdim 
For example, I go around wanting you 
          Dm7    Bb9       A5-/7 G7 Fdim   C   Cdim Dm9 Fdim C6/9 
And yet I can't imagine that you want me, too
