[Verse 1]
Dm      C               Em
  In my mind there is a house
     F               Em
In a small forest grove
        F               Em
Made of cherry logs and chimney smoke
         Dm                G
Is always pouring from the stove
      C                    Em
In my mind you're there sometimes
 F                      Em
Dancing with a glass of wine
 F                     Em
Laughing as I come to join
            Dm              G
You in the dim living room light

          F    G     C
But it is only in my   mind


[Verse 2]
      C             Em
In my mind love was easy
  F            Em
A dreamy happy ending
        F               Em
Full of passion never fleeting
         Dm            G
Full of feeling and surprise
      C               Em
In my mind love was unchanging
        F               Em
Every demand was worth meeting
      F                Em
Every bad day worth defeating
          Dm                G
Love made every wrong seem right

           F    G     C
But it was only in my   mind

[Verse 3]
      C           Em
In my mind you forgave me
    F            Em
For all of my mistakes
    F              Em
For being sad and selfish
        Dm             G
For the loneliness I create
       C          G
In my mind I got better
       F                 Em
I was more thoughtful of others
       F              Em
Never judgmental or stubborn
         Dm                 G
Always gracious giving and kind

           F    G     C
But it was only in my mind


[Verse 4]
       C               Em
In my mind life was a road
    F           Em
Without any turns
F                 Em
Every chance was given
        Dm            G
No hard lessons to be learned
      C              Em
In my mind I had the answers
      F                 Em
Every dream was within sight
      F                  Em
Every heartache could be mended
Dm                  G
Happiness came with time

           F    G     C      Cmaj7
But it was only in my   mind
           F    G        C
Yes it was only in my mind
