If You Could Read My Mind by Gordon Lightfoot_Isolated Vocal chords
Jam Along & Learn...
If you could read my mind, love, what a tale my thoughts could tell
Just like an old time movie about a ghost from a wishing well
castle dark or a fortress strong with chains upon my feet
know that ghost is me, and I will never be set free
long as I'm a ghost you can't see
If I could read your mind, love, what a tale your thoughts could tell
like a paperback novel, the kind the drugstore sells
reach the part where the heartaches come

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