       If you could read my mind, love 
Dadd9
       What a tale my thoughts could tell
Eadd9
       Just like an old time movie 
Dadd9
       'bout a ghost from a wishing-well
E              E7            A
  In a castle      dark or a     fortress strong
      B                 C#m
With     chains upon my       feet 
     A                     E
You     know that ghost is     me
     A               E/Ab
And     I will never        be set free
    F#m                    B                   Eadd9
As       long as there’s a    ghost you can't         see 
 
 
Eadd9
        If I could read your mind, love 
Dadd9
        What a tale your thoughts could tell
Eadd9
       Just like a paperback novel 
Dadd9
       The kind that drugstores sell
E                      E7
   When you reach the     part 
           A
Where the     heartaches come
     B                C#m
The     hero would be       me 
     A               E
And     heroes often    fail
     A                      E/Ab
And     you won't read that        book again
     F#m                      B                  Eadd9
Be-       cause the ending's    just too hard to         take
Dadd9 – Eadd9- Dadd9
 
 
Eadd9              E7              A
       I'd walk a-      way like a     movie star - 
          B                       C#m
Who gets    burned in a three way       script
     A               E
And     enter number     two 
   A                 E/Ab
A     movie queen to        play the scene
    F#m                   B                     C#m
Of       bringing all the     good things out in       me 
         A                     E
But for    now, love, let's be     real
   A                         E/Ab
I     never thought I could        act this way 
          F#m                   B
And I've      got to say that I     just don't get it 
A                       E/Ab
    I don't know where        we went wrong 
         F#m
But the       feeling's gone
       B                    Eadd9
And I     just can't get it        back 
 
 
Eadd9
        If you could read my mind, love 
Dadd9
        What a tale my thoughts could tell
Eadd9
       Just like an old time movie 
Dadd9
       'bout a ghost from a wishing-well
E                E7            A
    In a castle     dark or a    fortress strong
      B                C#m
With    chains upon my       feet 
     A               E
The     story always    ends 
 
 
     A                 E/Ab
And    if you read be-       tween the lines 
        F#m                    B                  C#m
You’ll      know that I’m just    trying to under-      stand 
     A                  E
The    feeling that you     lack
  A                       E/Ab
I    never thought I could       feel this way 
          F#m                   B
And I've      got to say that I    just don't get it 
A                      E/Ab
    I don't know where       we went wrong 
         F#m                         B                   Eadd9
But the      feeling's gone - And I    just can't get it         back
