If you could read my mind, love
What a tale my thoughts could [F#] tell
Just [D#] like an old time [C#m] movie
About a ghost from a wishing [F#] bell
In a castle dark
[B] Or a fortress [C#] strong
With chains [D#m] upon my feet
[F#] You know that ghost is me
And I will never be set free
As long as [C#] I'm a ghost that [F#] you can't see
[E]
[F#] If I could read your [C#m] mind, love
What a tale your thoughts could [F#] tell
Just like a paperback [C#m] novel
The kind the drugstores [F#] sell
When you reach the part [B] where the heartache [C#] comes
The hero [D#m] would be me
[B] Well, heroes [F#] often fail
[B] But you won't [F#] read that book [G#m] again
Because the [C#] ending's just too [F#] hard to take
[C#m] [F#] I'll walk away [B] like a movie [C#] star
Who gets burned in a [D#m] three-way script
[B] Oh, enter [F#] number two
[B] A movie [F#] queen to play this [G#m] scene
Of bringing [C#] all the good things [D#m] out in me
[B] But for now, love, [G#] let's be real
I never thought [F#] I could act this way
[G#m] And I've got to say [C#] that I just don't get [B] it
I don't know [F#] where we went wrong
[G#m] But the feeling's gone [C#] and I just can't get [F#] it back
[C#m] [F#] If you could read my [C#m] mind, love
What a tale my thoughts could [F#] tell
Just like an old-time [C#m] movie
That a ghost from a wishing [F#] well
In a castle's dark [B] or a fortress strong
[C#] With chains upon [D#m] my feet
[B] The story [F#] always ends
[B] But if you read [F#] between the lines
[G#m] You'll know that I'm [C#] just trying to [D#m] understand
[E] The feeling that [B] you lie
And I never thought I [F#] could feel this way
[G#m] And I've got to say [C#] that I just don't get [B] it
I don't know [F#] where we went wrong
[G#m] But the feeling's gone and [C#] I just can't get [B] it
