If You Could Read My Mind

Key: B

Introduction:

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
                                                          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                                                             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
                                                                                          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
                                                  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
                                                          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
