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