[G] [A] [G]
[Em] [C]
[G] I've been locked inside, empty space [Em] in my heart
[C] And some things never change, [G] oh

And [C] it just goes on and [D] on
[Em] Can you read my mind?
[C] Take a good look [D] at my face
[Em] Could you take the time
[C] Just to stand here [B] in my [G] place?
What if [D] I'm in the world to [Am] say goodbye, [D] goodbye?

You [C] just wanna cry [D] Look inside
[Em] Can you read my mind?

[G] When I hear your name
I [C] feel so [Em] cold deep inside
Still [C] it's hard to fake, [G] oh
What your love meant to me
