If You Could REad My Mind

Intro:  G       

G    
If you could read my mind, love,    
F   
What a tale my thoughts could tell.    
G    
Just like an old time movie,    
F    
Bout a ghost from a wishing well.    
G               G/B    
In a castle dark,    
     C                                     D                     Em    
Or a fortress strong, with chains upon my feet.    
     C                           G    
You know that ghost is me,    
   C               G/B    
And I will never be set free,    
    Am7                D                         G    
As long as I'm a ghost that you can't see.    

    
      G    
If I could read your mind, love,    
  F    
What a tale your thoughts could tell.    
  G    
Just like a paperback novel,    
   F    
The kind the drugstores sell.    
     G                       G7     
Then you reached the part    
      C                     D              Em    
Where the heartaches come, the hero would be me.    
     C                  G    
But heroes often fail.    
    C                                 G/B    
And you won't read that book again,    
        Am7               D                         G    
Because the ending's just too hard to take.

G          G7    
I'd walk away    
      C                    D                     Em    
Like a movie star, who gets burned in a three-way script.    
 C            G    
Enter number two:    
     C                      G/B    
A movie queen to play the scene    
   Am7                  D                         Em    
Of bringing all the good things out in me    
    
       C                                 G    
But for now, love, let's be real.    
   C                              G/B    
I never thought, I could act this way.    
    Am7                           D    
And I've got to say that I just don't get it.    
C                             G/B    
I don't know  where we went wrong,    
         Am7                              D                 G    
But the feeling's gone, and I just can't get it back.    
    
G    
If you could read my mind, love,    
F   
What a tale my thoughts could tell.    
G    
Just like an old time movie,    
F    
Bout a ghost from a wishing well.    
G               G/B    
In a castle dark,    
     C                                     D                     Em    
Or a fortress strong, with chains upon my feet.  
          C                  G  
But stories always end  
       C                       G/B  
And if you read between the lines  
         Am7                    D                     Em  
You'll know that I'm just trying to understand  
       C                        G  
The feelings that you lack  
    C                              G/B            
I never thought I could feel this way  
           Am7                      D  
And I've got to say that I just don't get it  
C                              G/B               
I don't know where we went wrong  
             Am7                     D                      G  
But the feelings gone and I just can't get it back
