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