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