Gordon Lightfoot - If You Could Read My Mind chords with lyrics

A _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ .
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ .
_ If you could read my mind, Em love, what a tale my thoughts could tell.
A _ Just like an old time Em movie about a ghost from a wishing well.
A _ .
_ In a castle dark or D a fortress strong, A with E chains upon my F#m feet, you D know that ghost is A me.
And _ D I will never A be set free Bm as long as I'm E a ghost you can't A see.
_ _ _ .
_ _ _ _ _ If I could read your mind, love, Em _ what a tale your thoughts could tell.
A _ _ Just like a paperback novel, Em _ the kind the drugstore sells.
A _ When you reach the part where the G heartaches D come, A the E hero would be F#m me.
_ _ .
D But heroes often A fail, _ _ D and you won't read A that book again Bm because the _ E ending's just too hard to A take.
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ .
Em _ _ _ G _ _ _ _ A _ .
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ .
G _ _ _ _ _ _ _ A _ .
_ I'd walk away _ like a D movie star who E gets burned in a three-way F#m stretch.
_ _ D Enter number A two, _ _ _ D movie queen to A play the scene Bm of bringing E all the good things out in F#m me.
_ But D for now, love, let's be A real.
_ _ .
D I never thought I A could act this way, and E I've got to say that I just don't get it.
D I don't know A where we went wrong, E but the feeling's gone, and I just can't get A it back.
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ .
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ .
_ If you could read my mind, Em love, what a tale my thoughts could tell.
A _ _ Just like an old-time Em movie about a ghost from a wishing A well.
_ In a castle dark or D a fortress strong, E with chains upon F#m my feet, _ D the _ story's A always end.
_ _ D If you read C#m between A the lines, E you'll know that I'm just trying to _ F#m understand _ _ .
D the feelings that A you have.
_ .
D I never thought A I could feel this C# way, Bm and I've got to say E that I just don't get D it.
I don't know A where we went wrong, B but the feeling's gone, E and I just can't get A it back.
