If You Could Read My Mind

C
C
If you could read my mind, love
Bb
What a tale my thoughts could tell
C
Just like an old time movie
Bb
'Bout a ghost from a wishing well
C
In a castle dark
       F                    G             Am
Or a fortress strong, with chains around my feet
      F                 C
You know that ghost is me
    F           C/E
And I will never be set free
     Dm                G                  C
As long as there's a ghost that you can't see
C
If i could read your mind, love
Bb
What a tale your thoughts would tell
C
Just like a paperback novel
Bb
The kind the drugstores sell
C
When you reached the part
            F                   G          Am
Where the heartaches come, the hero would be me
      F           C
But heroes often fail
     F                   C/E
And you won't read that book again
   Dm                  G               C
Because the ending's just too hard to take

 C
I'd walk away
         F                     G                 Am
Like a movie star, who gets burned in a three-way script
 F            C
Enter number two
   F              C/E
A movie queen to play the scene
      Dm             G                 Am
Of bringing all the good things out in me
         F                 C
But for now, love, let's be real
   F                    C/E
I never thought, I could act this way
          Dm                 G
And I've got to say that I just don't get it
   F               C/E
I don't know where we went wrong
           Dm                 G                 C
But the feeling's gone, and I just can't get it back
C
If you could read my mind, love

What a tale my thoughts could tell

Just like an old time movie

'Bout a ghost from a wishing well
C
In a castle dark
        F                    G           Am
Or a fortress strong, with chains upon my feet
       F           C
But stories always end
    F        C/E
If you read between the lines
        Dm                G           Am
Tough i'll know that I'm just trying to understand
      F              C
The feelings that you lack
   F              C/E
I never thought I could feel this way
        Dm                G
And I've got to say that I just don't get it
   F              C/E
I don't know where we went wrong
           Dm                  G                 C
 But the feeling's gone, and I just can't get it back
