[A]
If you could read my mind, [G] love, what a tale my thoughts could tell
[A]
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 my [F#m]
feet
You [D] know that ghost [A] is me, [D]
I will never [A] be set free
[Bm] As long as I'm [E] a ghost that you [A] can't see
If I could read your mind, [G] love, what a tale your thoughts could [A] tell
Just like a paperback [G] novel, the kind that drugstores sell
[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
And [D]
you won't read [A] that book again, [Bm]
because the [E] ending's just too hard [A] to take
[G] [D] [Am]
[A] [G]
[Bm] [Em] [D] [A]
I'd walk away like [D] a movie star who gets [E] burned in a three [F#m]-way script
[D] Enter [A] number two, [D] a movie [A] queen who'd play the scene
[Bm]
Bringing [E] all the good things [F#m] out in me
[D] But for now, love, [A] let's be real
[A] [D]
Never thought [A] I could act this way
But [Bm]
I've got to say [Em] that I just don't get [D] it
I don't know [A] where we went wrong
[Bm] But the feeling's gone and [E] 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 movie [G]
about a ghost from a wishing well
[A]
In a castle dark or [D] a fortress strong
[E] The chains upon my [F#m]
feet, [D] but stories [A] always end
[D]
If you read [A] between the lines, [Bm] you'll know that I'm [E] just trying to [F#m] understand
The [D] feelings that [A] you lack
[D] Never thought I [A] could feel this way
[Bm] I've got to say that [E] I [Em] just don't get [D] it
I don't [A] know where we went wrong
But [Bm] the feeling's gone and I [E] just can't get [A] it back
