(G)
If you could (Gadd9) read my mind love
(Dm6/F) What a tale my thoughts
could tell
(G) Just like an (Gadd9) old time
movie
(Dm6/F) 'Bout a ghost from a
wishing well
(G) In a castle (Gadd9) dark or a
(C) fortress strong
With (D) chains upon my (Em)
feet, you (C) know that ghost is (G) me
And (C) I will never (G/B) be set
free
As (Am7) long as I'm a (D) ghost
that you can't (G) see (Gadd9)
If
I could read your mind love, what a tale your thoughts could tell
Just like a paperback
novel, the kind the drugstores sell
When you reach
the part where the heartache come
The hero would
be me, but heroes often fail
And you won't
read that book again because the ending's just too hard to take
(G)
I'd walk a(Gadd9)way like a (C) movie star
Who gets (D) burned in a three way
(Em) script, (C) enter number (G) two
A (C) movie queen to (G/B) play
the scene
Of (Am7) bringing all the (D)
good things out in (Em) me
But for (C) now love, let's be
(G) real
I (C) never thought I could (G/B)
feel this way
And I've (Am7) got to say that I
(D) just don't get it
(C) I don't know where (G/B) we
went wrong but the (Am7) feeling's gone
And I (D) just can't get it (G)
back (Gadd9) (G) (Gadd9)
If
you could read my mind love, what a tale my thoughts could tell
Just like an
old time movie, 'bout a ghost from a wishing well
In a castle dark
or a fortress strong with chains upon my feet
But stories always
end
And if you read
between the lines you'll know that I'm just trying to understand
The feelings that
you lack
I never thought
I could feel this way and I've got to say that I just don't get it
I don't know
where we went wrong but the feeling's gone and I just can't get it back
