Tone: [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 wishin' well
[A]In a castle [A7]dark or a [D]fortress strong
With [E]chains upon my [Gbm]feet
You [D]know that ghost is [A]me
And [D]I will never [A]be set free
As [Bm7]long as I'm a [E]ghost that you can't [A]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 that drugstores sell
[A]When you reach the [A7]part where the [D]heartaches come
The [E]hero would be [Gbm]me
But [D]heroes often [A]fail
And [D]you won't read that [A]book again
Bec[Bm7]Because the ending's [E]just too hard to [A]take
Interlude:
[A] [G] [A] [G]
[A]I'd walk a[A7]away like a [D]movie star
Who gets [E]burned in a three way [Gbm]script
[D]Enter number [A]two
A [D]movie queen to [A]play the scene
Of [Bm7]bringing all the [E]good things out in [Gbm]me
[D]But for now love, let's be [A]real
I [D]never thought I could [A]act this way
[Bm7]And I've got to say that I [E]just don't get it
[D]I don't know where [A]we went wrong
But the [Bm7]feelin's gone
And I [E]just can't get it [A]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 wishin' well
[A]In a castle [A7]dark or a [D]fortress strong
With [E]chains upon my [Gbm]feet
But [D]stories always [A]end
And [D]if you read be[A]between the lines
You'll [Bm7]know that I'm just [E]tryin' to under[Gbm]understand
The [D]feelin's that you [A]lack
I [D]never thought I could [A]feel this way
And I've [Bm7]got to say that I [E]just don't get it
[D]I don't know where [A]we went wrong
But the [Bm7]feelin's gone
And I [E]just can't get it [A]back
