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