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