If you could read my mind, love, [G]
what a tale the thoughts would tell.
[A] Just like an old-time movie, [G] about a ghost in a wishing well.
[A] In a castle dark, or a [D] fortress strong, with [A] chains upon my [F#m] feet.
You know [D] that ghost is [A] me, [D] and I will never [A] be set free.
[Bm]
Long as I'm a [A] ghost, you can't see me.
If you could read my mind, love, [G]
what a tale the thoughts would tell.
[A] Just like a paperback note, [G] the kind the drugstore sells.
[A] When you reach the part where [D] the holidays come, the [E] hero would be [F#m] near.
But [D] heroes often [A] fail, [E] [D] and you won't read that [A] book again.
[Bm] Because the ending's [A] just too out of date.

[G] [D] [A]
I walk away, like a [D] movie star, who [E] gets burned to a two-way [F#m] strip.
[D] Then enter number [A] three, [D] love of a queen who [A] played that scene.
[Bm] Bringing all the good [E] things I didn't [F#m] need, that [D] vanilla blasphemy.
[A] [D] I never thought I could [A] feel this way, but I've [Bm] come to say, I [E] just don't get [D] it.
I don't know where [A] we went wrong, but the [Bm] feeling's gone, and I [A] just can't get it back.
If you could read my mind, love, [G] what a tale the thoughts would tell.
[A]
Just like an old-time movie, [G] about a ghost in a wishing [A] well.
In a castle dark, [F#m] or [D] a fortress strong, with chains [A] upon my [F#m]
feet, the [D] story always [A] ends.
[D] And if you read between [A] the lines, [Bm] know that I'm just [E] trying to [F#m] understand the
[D] feelings that we lie.
