If you could read my mind, love,
F
What a tale my thoughts could tell.
G
Just like an old time movie,
F
Bout a ghost from a wishing well.
G G7/B
In a castle dark,
C D Em
Or a fortress strong, with chains upon my feet.
C G
You know that ghost is me,
C G/B
And I will never be set free,
A7sus D G
As long as I'm a ghost that you can't see.
G
If I could read your mind, love,
F
What a tale your thoughts could tell.
G
Just like a paperback novel,
F
The kind the drugstores sell.
G G7
Then you reached the part
C D Em
Where the heartaches come, the hero would be me.
C G
But heroes often fail.
C G
And you won't read that book again,
C D Em
Because the ending's just too hard to take.
G G7
I'd walk away
C D Em
Like a movie star, who gets burned in a three-way script.
C G
Enter number two:
C G
A movie queen to play the scene
C D Em
Of bringing all the good things out in me
C G
But for now, love, let's be real.
C G
I never thought, I could act this way.
C D
And I've got to say that I just don't get it.
C G
I don't know where we went wrong,
C D G
But the feeling's gone, and I just can't get it back.
G
If you could read my mind love
F
What a tale my thoughts could tell
G
Just like an old time movie
F
Bout a ghost from a wishing well
G G7 C
In a castle dark or a fortress strong
D Em
With chains upon my feet
C G
But stories always end
C G/B
And if you read between the lines
A7sus D Em
You'll know that I'm just trying to understand
C G
The feelings that you lack
C G/B
I never thought I could feel this way
A7sus D
And I've got to say that I just don't get it
C G/B
I don't know where we went wrong
A7sus D G
But the feelings gone and I just can't get it back
