Chords for "If You Could Read My Mind" 5/2/23

Hey, we lost another
great singer-songwriter today
Gordon Lightfoot, or I'm sorry yesterday
Today I'm gonna do my own little
version [A] of something to pay tribute _
_ _ _ [G] _ [G#] _ [C#] _ _ [A] _
_ _ _ [G] _ _ _ _ [A]
If you could read my [F#m] mind [G] love
Would I tell my thoughts could tell?
[A] _ Just like an old time movie
[G] About a ghost from a wishing [A] well
In a castle dark
Or a [D] fortress [E] strong with chains upon [F#m] my feet
[D] You know that ghost [A] is me.
[D] I
Will never [C#m] be [A] set free
[Bm] As long as [E] I'm a ghost that [A] you can't see
_ _ _ [G] _ _ [D] _
[A] _ _ _ _ _ [G] _ _ _
_ [A] If I could read your mind [G] love
Would I tell your thoughts could [A] tell?
Just like a paperback novel [G] the kind
drugs don't sell
[A] And when you reach the part [D] where heartache [E] comes the hero [F#m] would be me
[D] But heroes [A] often fail
[D] You won't read that [C#m] book [Bm] again
Cuz the endings [E] just too hard to [A] take
_ _ _ [G] _ _
[G] _ _ [A] _ _ _ _ [G] _ _
_ _ _ [A] I'd walk away
like [D] a movie [E] star
Could get burned in [F#m] a three-way script
_ [D] Entered number [A] two [D] a movie queen
[C#m] To play the scene [Bm] of bringing all [E] good things out [F#m] in me
[D] But for now love lets [A] me breathe
[D] I never thought [A] I could act this way
[Bm] I got to say [E] that I just don't get [D] it.
I don't [F#m] know
Where we went wrong, [Bm] but the feelings gone.
[E] I just can't get [A] it back
_ _ [G] _ _ _ _ [A] _
_ _ _ [G] _ _ [D] _ [G] _ [A] _
_ _ If you could read my mind [G] love
Would I tell my thoughts could [A] tell?
Just like an old-time [G] movie
About a ghost from a wishing well
[A] in a castle dark
[D] Or a fortress strong [E] would change upon [F#m] my feet
[D] But stories [A] always end
[D] if you [A] read
Between the [Bm] lines, you'll know that I'm [E] just trying to [F#m] understand
[D] The feelings that [A] you like [D] I never thought
You [A] this way.
[Bm] I've got [E] to say that I just [D] don't get it.
I don't know
[A] Where we went [Bm] wrong, but the feelings [E] gone.
I just can't get it [A] back
_ _ _ [G] _ _ _ _ [A] _
_ _ _ [G] _ _ [G] _ [A] _ _
_ _ _ [G] _ _ _ _ [A] _
