[A]
If you could read my mind [G] love what a tale my thoughts could tell
[A] Just like an old crime [G] movie
About a ghost from a wishing well
[A] in a castle dark
Or [G] a fortress [D] strong
[A] With chains upon [F#m] my feet
You [D] know that ghost [A] is me
[D] And I won't ever [A] be set free [Bm] as long as I'm [E] a ghost that you [A] can't see
If I could read your mind [Em] love
What a tale your thoughts could tell
[A]
Just like a paperback [Em] novel
the kind of drugstore sells
[A]
When you reach the part
Where [G] the heartaches [D] come
[A] The [E] hero would [F#m] be me
But [D] heroes [A] often fade
[D] And you won't read [A] that book of old
[Bm] Because the endings [E] just too hard [A] to take
[Em]
[A]
[Em]
[A] I walk away
[Bm] [C#] Like [G] a movie [D] star who gets [A] [E] burned in a three-way [F#m] strip
[D] Enter number [A] two
[D] A movie queen to [A] play the scene [Bm] of bringing
[E] Things I [F#m] didn't need but [D] for now, let's [A] be real
[D] [A]
[Bm] I [E]
[D] don't know where [A] we went wrong, [Bm] but the feeling is gone and [E] I just can't read [A] it right
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 [G] a fortress [D] strong
[A] With chains [E] upon [F#m] my feet
[D] Girl, but stories [A] always end
[D] You could be [A] between the lines, [Bm] you know, I'm [E] just trying to [F#m] understand
[D] the feelings that [A] you like
I [D] never thought [A] I could feel this way
[Bm] I've got to say [E] that I just don't get [D] it
I don't know [A] where we went wrong, [Bm] but the feeling is gone [E] and I just can't read [A] it right
