This is just an update I did over the summer.
The original tab came from Aaron Yarlas, and thanks
is owed to J. Cooper and Paul Andersen as well.
Any corrections are welcomed, and if someone was
inclined to do a bass-tab, well that would be swell.
N-joy, will.

D G
So you're trying to make connection, you heard whispers in the hall
D F#m Bm D D7 G
She'll be out again this evening, when you come around to call
D F#m Bm D Bb
So, you dodge the lady-killer, who came creepin' 'cross the floor
D F#m Bm D D7 G
The you caught up in a whirlwind, you got blown right out the door
D F#m Bm D Bb
Oh, yes it was a whirlwind, sweet romance was on your side
D G
If you wanna dance on my face, you must tell me why you lied
D F#m Bm G D
Imagination is a powerful deceiver
F#m Bm C G
When you try to believe her just a little too much
D F#m Bm G D
Imagination is a powerful deceiver
G D G D
I'll go out of my mind, if I'm losing your touch
D G
I see a look of recognition, so well hidden in your eye
D F#m Bm D D7 G
And your peepshow regulations, they just don't seem to apply,
D F#m Bm D Bb
Well, did I see you in the circus, in the ring without a hand
D F#m Bm D D7 G
Now you think that you can curse us, steal the show and stop the band
D F#m Bm D Bb
Oh, you can follow your dreams, oh but please don't lead me on,
D G
If you wanna bleed in my face, you were here and now you're gone
D F#m Bm G D
Imagination is a powerful deceiver
F#m Bm C G
When you try to believe her just a little too much
D F#m Bm G D
Imagination is a powerful deceiver
G D G D
I'll go out of my mind, if I'm losing your touch

converted
the document, it messed up the format, and I don't have my guitar handy.
Enjoy!

I hate to say this, and I don't want to sound ungrateful for someone's
efforts, but the chords listed for the song "Imagination..." are way, WAY
oversimplified. If you had to play this song with just E, A, D, G, and C
chords, I suppose these versions would do...but the progressions are far more
involved than that.
***Example, posted version:
E C
Well, did I see you in the circus, in the ring without a hand
E A
Now you think that you can curse us, steal the show and stop the band
***The way I hear it:
A E C
Well, did I see you in the circus, in the ring without a hand
G#m C#m Bm E7 A
Now you think that you can curse us, steal the show and stop the band

E A D E
