the wild reeds - What I Had In Mind

      [Intro]

[Verse]
E
What happens when your safe place leaves?
                              A
What happens when the one you trust won't hear your plea?
E
What happens when your daydreams end?
                         A
You lose all the comfort you'd invested in

                                              E
I dream that someday I'll find the peace I need
       A                                               E
It seems that my nightmares always end with these things
      A                                           E         A
And I try to block it out, but I won't forget the fall

E
What happens when your lover's gone?
                               A
What happens when it don't go just the way you thought?
E
What happens when the mat's pulled out?
                                         A
You're falling and you don't know how to face a crowd


What a shock, what a scare
    E
Two nights ago I was holding your hand
       A
What a crack, what a joke
            E
Don't know if I should pat you on the back or watch you go

      A                                           E     A (all downstrums from here)
And I try to block it out, but I won't forget the fall

(All down stumps from here)

E                                   A
This is not what I had in mind when I told you I'd be by your side
    E                                    A
No, this is not what I had in mind when I told you I would always try
    E                                    A
No, this is not what I had meant when I asked you if you'd be my man
E                                   A
This is not what I had planned when I told you I'd be your woman

E                  A
Oh no no, no no no
E         A
I wanted you so
        E
My hope was strong but overpowered
   A                                      E (one strum)
By a boy whose faith was swallowed by his doubt
