You can't make [F] her learn [Fm] what a tale of thoughts could [Bb] tell
Just [F] like an old time [Fm] movie about a ghost from a wishing well
[Bb] In a castle dark or [Eb] a fortress stone [F] with chains upon [Gm] my feet
[Eb] You know that ghost [Bb] is me [Eb] and I will never [Dm] be sad for [Cm] you
As long as I am [F] a ghost that you [Bb] can't see
[Bb] If I could read you my [Fm] love what a tale of thoughts could tell
[Bb]
Just like the paper about the [Fm] novel that canny drugstore would sell
When you reach the part where [Eb] the heartaches come
[F] The hero would be [Gm]
me, [Eb] the heroes often [Bb]
fail
[Eb] You won't need [Bb] them again, [Cm] cause the [F] ending's just too hard [Bb] to take
[Ab] [Fm]

[Bb] I walk away like a [Eb] movie star who [F] gets burned in a three way [Gm] strip
[Eb]
Enter number [Bb] two, [Eb] a movie in the [Dm] clear, the scene [Cm] of all the [F] good things out in [Gm]

But [Eb] for now love, let's be [Bb]
real, [Eb] I never knew

[F] Don't get [Eb] it, I don't know [Bb] where we will, [Cm] [F] never just can't get [Bb] it back

If you could read my mind [Fm] love, what a tale of thoughts could tell
[Bb] Just like an old time movie [Fm] about a ghost from a wishing well
[Bb] In a castle dark [Dm] or [Eb] a fortress stone [F] with chains upon my [Gm] feet
[Eb] The story always [Bb] ends [Eb] and if you look [Bb] through [C]
the [F] window [Gm] sill
You'll see [Eb] the feelings that you [Bb] love
