Jam Along & Learn...
[Ab] If
[Ebm] [Bb]
[Ab]
you could read my mind, [Eb] love, what a tale your thoughts could tell
[Ab] Just like an old time movie about a ghost from a wishing well
[Ab] In a castle dark or [Db] a fortress strong [Bb] with chains upon [Fm] my feet
You [Db] know that [Ab] ghost was me, [Db] and I will [Ab] never be set free
[Bb] As long as I'm a ghost, you [Ab] can't see
[Eb] If
[Ab]
I could read your [Eb] mind, love, what a tale your thoughts could tell
Just like a paperback [Ebm] novel that [Eb] kind of drugstores sell
[Ab] When you reach the part where [Db] the heartaches come
[Eb] The hero would be [Fm] me, [Db] but heroes [Ab] often fail
And [Db] you won't [Ab] read that book again [F] because the [Eb] ending's just too hard [Ab] to take
[Eb]
[Ab] I'll walk away like [Db] a movie star, [Eb] though it's burning a three [Fm]-way script
[Db]
Into [Ab] number two
[Db] A movie [Ab] queen that played the scene [Bb] of bringing all the [Eb] good things out [Fm] of me
But [Db] for now, [Ab] love, let's reread
I [Db] never thought [Ab] I could feel this way
[F] And I've got to say [Eb] that I just don't get it
[Db] I don't know where [Cm] we went [F] wrong, but the feeling's gone
[Eb] And I just can't get [Ab] it back
[Eb] [Ab]
If you could read my mind, [Ebm] love, [Eb] what a tale my thoughts could tell
[Ab]
Just like an old-time movie [Eb]
about a ghost from a wishing well
[Ab]
In a castle dark [Db] or a fortress strong [Eb] with chains upon my [Fm] feet
[Db] The stories [Ab]
always end
[Db] And if you read [Ab] between the lines, [F] you'd know that I'm [Eb] just trying to [Fm] understand
[Db] The feelings [Ab] that you lack
[Db] I never thought [Cm] I could feel this [F] way
And I've got to say [Eb] that I just don't get [Db] it
I don't know [Cm] where we [Eb] went wrong, [Bb] but the feeling's gone
And [Eb] I just can't [Ab] get it back
