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