If you could read my mind

E  
If you could read my mind, love   
D  
What a tale my thoughts could tell.  
E  
Just like an old time movie,  
D  
'Bout a ghost from a wishing well.  
E              E7  
In a castle dark,  
           A                              B                     C#m  
Or a fortress strong, with chains around my feet.  
           A                          E  
You know that ghost is me,  
       A               E  
And I will never be set free,  
        A                          B                           E  
As long as there?s a ghost that you can't see.  
  
E  
If you could read my mind, love,  
D  
What a tale your thoughts would tell.  
E  
Just like a paperback novel,  
D  
The kind the drugstores sell.  
E                                   E7   
When you reached the part  
                      A                                B                C#m  
Where the heartaches come, the hero would be me.  
           A               E  
But heroes often fail.  
         A                             E  
And you won't read that book again,  
      A                            B                      E  
Because the ending's just too hard to take.  
  
E  D   E   D    E   D 
  
 E          E7  
I'd walk away  
               A                                 B                           C#m  
Like a movie star, who gets burned in a three-way script.  
 A                      E  
Enter number two:  
      A                      E  
A movie queen to play the scene  
         A                   B                         E  
Of bringing all the good things out in me   
  
             A                         E  
But for now, love, let's be real.  
    A                              E  
I never thought, I could act this way.  
               A                       B 
And I've got to say that I just don't get it.  
    A                          E  
I don't know where we went wrong,  
                  A                          B                     E  
 But the feeling's gone, and I just can't get it back.  
 
  
E  
If you could read my mind, love,  
D  
What a tale my thoughts could tell.  
E  
Just like an old time movie,  
D  
'Bout a ghost from a wishing well.  
E              E7  
In a castle dark,  
            A                              B                   C#m  
Or a fortress strong, with chains upon my feet.  
           A                  E 
But stories always end 
     A             E 
If you read between the lines 
             A                        B               E 
Tou?ll know that I?m just trying to understand 
          A                     E 
The feelings that you lack 
     A                     E 
I never thought I could feel this way 
              A                      B 
and I?ve got to say that I just don?t get it 
    A                         E  
I don't know where we went wrong,  
                 A                           B                     E  
 But the feeling's gone, and I just can't get it back.
