C
(move the bass note to the low E string for the G shape. If you use an open F shape move the whole pattern to
the higher strings for the F in the chorus)
** this is NOT exact, if someone wants to update it, please do, I'd also love to play it the way Julien does.
This is how I play it, it works well enough!
C       [x32010]
Am7/Am  [x02010] / [x02210]
G

Intro

  C           Am7          G
Julien plays some version of this style of picking for the intro I believe. This is just how I play it, for
the rest of the song, leave the B string open on the last pull in the G shape.
C  Am7  G  G

Verse 1

C                  Am7
  On the corner of main street
G                        G
  Just tryin' to keep it in line
C                        Am7
  You say you wanna move on and
G                     G
  You say I'm falling behind
                   C     Am7    G       G
Can you read my mind?
                   C     Am7    G       G
Can you read my mind?

Verse 2

C                     Am7
  I never really gave up on
G                      G
  Breakin' out of this two-star town
C                       Am7
  I got the green light, I got a little fight
G                           G
  I'm gonna turn this thing around
                   C     Am7     G      G
Can you read my mind?
                   C      Am7     G       G
Can you read my mind?

Chorus

             F                C
The good old days, the honest man
             G                   G
The restless heart, the promised land
         F                C
A subtle kiss that no one sees
         G                    G
A broken wrist and a big trapeze
                F                  C
Oh well I don't mind, if you don't mind
            G                Am
Coz I don't shine if you don't shine
           F                   G
Before you go, can you read my mind?

Verse 3

C                         Am7
  It’s funny how you just break down
G                 G
  Waitin' on some sign
       C                       Am7
I pull up to the front of your driveway
G                   G
Magic soakin' my spine
                   C      Am7     G         G
Can you read my mind?
                   C      Am7     G         G
Can you read my mind?

Chorus

            F                 C
The teenage queen, the loaded gun
              G                 G
The drop dead dream, the chosen one
           F                C
A southern drawl, a world unseen
       G                G
A city wall and a trampoline
                F                  C
Oh well I don't mind, if you don't mind
              G                  Am
Cause I don't shine if you don't shine
           F     F
Before you jump, tell me what you
G    G
find
                 C    Am7    G   G
when you read my mind

Chorus

               F             C
Slippin’ in my faith until I fall
           G                  G
He never returned that call
                 F                  C
Woman, open the door, don't let it sting
                     G           G
I wanna breathe that fire again
                 F               C
she said, I don't mind, if you don't mind
              G                 Am
Cause I don't shine if you don't shine
                    F
Put your back on me
                    C
Put your back on me
                    G
Put your back on me
C                            Am7
  The stars are blazing like rebel diamonds
               G          G
Cut out of the sun
                 C         Am7         G              G
When you read my mind
                 C         Am7         G              G
      ...read my mind
