      [A Penny For Your Thoughts

By: Tavares


[Intro]

Fm7 Em7 (x2)
…(A penny for your thoughts)- pause
        C                     Am
I’ve got to know where I stand
                                                        Dm7/G
I just got to know where I am with you


[Chorus]

     (G7sus)    C                          G/B
So here's penny for your thoughts, a nickel for a kiss
F/A                   Dm7
A dime if you tell me that you love me
C                              G/B
Penny for your thoughts, a nickel for a kiss
F/A              Dm7                              G7sus - break G7sus
A dime if you tell me that you love me


[Verse 1]

Cm7                                   Fm7             G7sus
Walkin' holdin' hands, you say you're mine all mine
  C(9)                                   Bm7        E7
Then soon another face steals your eyes away
       Am                         D
It's just a guessing game and I can't help feelin' used
Em7                 Eb7   Dm7            G7sus
Love shouldn't be  so   darn confused


[Chorus]
(same chords as above)

     (G7sus)    C                          G/B

F/A                   Dm7
A dime if you tell me that you love me
C                              G/B
Penny for your thoughts, a nickel for a kiss
F/A              Dm7               G7sus - break G7sus
A dime if you tell me that you love me


[Verse 2]

Cm7                                      FM7          G7(sus)
People love to talk, they say you're usin' me
 C(9)                                             Bm7 - E7
Though face to face you swear I'm the only one
      Am                        D
If I had a crystal ball I would gaze into your mind
Em7
I’d see what you were thinkin’
   Eb7
If our ship was sinkin’
         Dm7          D7sus - break
If you’re  leavin’ me behind


[Chorus]

A dime if you tell me that you love me
C                              G/B
Penny for your thoughts, a nickel for a kiss
F/A              Dm7               G7sus - break G7sus
A dime if you tell me that you love me

If you love me   like I love you
