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