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