[Dm]
[G] [Dm] [D]
[G] If you could read my mind, [F] Lord, what a tale my thoughts [Em] could [G] tell.
Just like an old time [F] movie, about a ghost from a wishing well.
[G] In a castle [Am] dark, or a [C] fortress strong, with [D] chains upon my [E] feet.
[C] You know that ghost of [G] me, and I will never be set free,
[Am] as long as I'm [D] a ghost that you [G] can't see.
If I could read your mind, [F] Lord, what a tale your thoughts could [G] tell.
Just like a paperback [F] novel, the kind the drugstore [D] sells.
[G] When you reach the part where [C] the heartaches come,
[D] the hero would [Em] be me.
[C] But heroes [G] often fail, [C] and you won't [G] read that book again,
[Am] because the [D] ending's just too [G] hard to take.
[Dm] [D]
[F] [G] I'd walk away like a [C] movie star who [D] gets burned in a three-way [Em] strip.
[C] And a number [G] two, [C] a movie queen, [G] to play the scene,
[Am] of bringing all [D] the things out [Em] in me.
But [C] for now, love [G] must be real.
[C] I never thought [G] I could feel this way, [Am] and I've got to say [D] that I just don't get it.
[C] I don't know [G] where we went wrong, [Am] but the feeling's gone, [D] and I just can't get [G] it back.
If you could read my mind, [F] Lord, what a tale my thoughts could [G] tell.
Just like an old-time [F] movie, about a ghost from a wishing well.
[G] In a castle dark, [C] or a fortress [D] strong, with change upon [Em] my feet, [C] stories [G] always end.
[C] Yet if you [G] read between the [Am] lines, you'll know that [D] I'm just trying to [Em] understand [C] the feelings [G] that you lack.
[C] I never [G] thought I could feel this way, [Am] and I've got to [D] say that I just don't [C] get it.
I don't know [G] where we went wrong, [Am] but the feeling's gone, [D] and I just [G] can't get it back.
