[A]
If you could read my [C#] mind, love, what a tale [G] my thoughts could tell.
[A] Just like an old-time [G] movie about a ghost from a wishing well.
[A] In a castle dark [D] or a fortress strong with [E] chains upon [F#m] my [A] feet,
[D] you know that [A] ghost is me.
[D] I will never [A] be set free [Bm] as long as [E] I'm a ghost that you [A] can see.
If I could read your mind, [C#] love, what a tale your thoughts [Em] could tell.
[A]
Just like the paperback novel, [Em]
the kind that drugstores [A] sell.
When you reach the part where [D] the heartaches come,
[E] the hero will [F#m] be [A] me.
Heroes often fail.
[D] You won't read that book again [B] because the [E] ending's just too hard [A] to take.

[Em]

[A] But for now, [D] love, [A] let's be real.
[D] I never thought [A] I could act this way, [B] and I've got to say [E] that I just don't get [D] it.
I don't know [A] where we went wrong, [Bm] but the feeling's gone, [E] and I just can't get [A] it back.
If you could read my mind, [Em] love, what a tale [G] my thoughts could tell.
[A] Just like an old-time [Em] movie about a ghost from a wishing well
[A] in a castle dark [D] or a fortress strong [E] with chains upon [F#m] my feet.
[C#m] [D] The story's always [A] end, [D] and if you read [A] between the lines,
[B] you'd know that I'm [E] just trying to [F#m] understand [D] the feelings that [A] you lack.
[D] I never thought I [A] could feel this way, [B] and I've [Bm] got to say [E] that I just don't get it.
