                      D
Hold that lantern up high, 
             G      A
I could have gone  anywhere.
A
If by chance dawn don't make it home tonight,
     G                  D
well thats alright with me.
D
You would hold out your arms
                 G           A
and we dance with enraptured embrace.

What I thought was so strong was a love thats now gone 
G                D
so far away from me.

CHORUS­

G                    A
And if I had been a gypsy back then,
D                                    G
I couldn't read this gypsy deck of hearts.
           G               A
From where I stand now, in front of this crowd,
   D                    G
I still can't read this gypsy deck of hearts.
A                     
Were the lights too dim, were my eyes too blind,
G                   D
to read this gypsy deck of hearts .
A 
Was a heart too strong, that made our love go wrong,
G              D
right from the Start. 


                   D
I thought that you were the one, 
                        G       A
back when my dreams were still young. 
A
The confessions we made, and the promises pledged, 
     G                  D
behind the old brickyard wall. 

                  D
In the beat of a heart 
               G          D
where time kind of slides away. 
A
For every place that you roam, there's a heart to call home, 
    G                 D
but you can't seem to stay. 

G                    A
And if I had been a gypsy back then,
D                                    G
I couldn't read this gypsy deck of hearts.
           G               A
From where I stand now, in front of this crowd,
   D                    G
I still can't read this gypsy deck of hearts.
Oh no,

D   G         

        D                       G
I can't read this gypsy deck of hearts. 
        D                       G
I can't read this gypsy deck of hearts.
