If You Could Read My Mind

(início)

E
If you could read my mind, love
D
What a tale my thoughts could tell.
E
Just like an old time movie,
D
'Bout a ghost from a wishing well.
E          E7
In a castle dark,
       A                    B             C#m
Or a fortress strong, with chains around my feet.
      A                 E
You know that ghost is me,
    A           E
And I will never be set free,
     A                B                  E
As long as there?s a ghost that you can't see.
E
If i could read your mind, love,
D
What a tale your thoughts would tell.
E
Just like a paperback novel,
D
The kind the drugstores sell.
E                    E7
When you reached the part
            A                   B          C#m
Where the heartaches come, the hero would be me.
      A           E
But heroes often fail.
     A                   E
And you won't read that book again,
   A                  B               E
Because the ending's just too hard to take.
E  D   E   D    E   D
 E       E7
I'd walk away
         A                     B                 C#m
Like a movie star, who gets burned in a three-way script.
 A            E
Enter number two:
   A              E
A movie queen to play the scene
      A             B                 E
Of bringing all the good things out in me
         A                 E
But for now, love, let's be real.
   A                    E
I never thought, I could act this way.
          A                 B
And I've got to say that I just don't get it.
   A               E
I don't know where we went wrong,
            A                 B                 E
 But the feeling's gone, and I just can't get it back.

In a castle dark,

Or a fortress strong, with chains upon my feet.
       A           E
But stories always end
    A        E
If you read between the lines
        A                B           E
Tou?ll know that I?m just trying to understand
      A              E
The feelings that you lack
   A               E
I never thought I could feel this way
        A                B
and I?ve got to say that I just don?t get it
   A               E
I don't know where we went wrong,
           A                  B                 E
 But the feeling's gone, and I just can't get it back.
