If You Could Read My Mind Chords by Don Williams

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