C                                 Bb 
  If you could read my mind, love, what a tale my thoughts could tell 
C                            Bb 
  Just like an old-time movie  'bout a ghost from a wishing well 
C*                      F                    G              Am 
  In a castle dark or a fortress strong with chains upon my feet 
    G                  C 
You know that ghost is me 
    F               Em          Dm            (G)           C 
And I will never be set free as long as I'm a ghost you can see 


C 
  If I could read your mind, love, what a tale your thoughts could tell 

Just like a paperback novel, the kind the drugstores sell 


C*                                  F                    
  When you reach the part where the heartaches come  
    G               Am 
The hero will be me 
    G              C 
But heros often fail 
    F                  Em           Dm                G                C 
And you wont read that book again because the endings just too hard to take 


C*                   F                   G                          Am 
  I walk away like a movie star who gets burned in through a script 
G               C   F              Em                Dm               G                  Am    
Enter number two: a movie queen to play the scene of bringing all the good things out in me 
        G                   C 
but for now, love, let's be real 
  F                     Em                 Dm                G 
I never thought i could act this way and I got to say that I just don't get it 
  F                Em                     Dm                  G                 C 
I don't know where we wen't wrong but the feelings gone and I just can't get it back 


C                                 Bb 
  If you could read my mind, love, what a tale my thoughts could tell 
C                            Bb 
  Just like an old-time movie  'bout a ghost from a wishing well 
C*                      F                    G              Am 
  In a castle dark or a fortress strong with chains upon my feet 
    G            C 
The story always ends 
    F              Em                    Dm                  G            Am 
And If you read between the lines you'll know that I'm just trying to understand 
    G                C 
The feeling that you left 
  F                          Em                     Dm                G 
I never thought that I could feel this way and I've got to say that I just dont get it 
F                    Em                     Dm                  G                 C 
  I don't know where we wen't wrong but the feelings gone and I just can't get it back
