If You Could Read My Mind

If you could read my mind,

love, (Dm6)what a tale my thoughts could tell.

(G)Just like an old per time movie,

(Dm6)'bout a ghost from a wishing (G)well.

In a castle dark

or a (C)fortress strong, with (D)chains upon my (Em)feet.

You (C)know that ghost is (G)me.

And (C)I will never (G)be set free as (A7sus4)long as I'm a (D)ghost that you can't (G)see.

(G)If I could read your mind,

love, (Dm6)what a tale your thoughts could tell.

(G)Just like a old per time novel,

(Dm6)the kind ghost the a drug stores sell.

(G)Then you reached the part

where the (C)heartaches come, the (D)hero would be (Em)me.

But (C)heros often (G)fail, and (C)you won't read that (G)book again (A7sus4)because the ending's (D)just too hard to (G)take.

(G)I'd walk away like a (C)movie star who gets (D)burned in a threeway (Em)script.

(C)Enter number (G)two:

a (C)movie queen to (G)play the scene of (A7sus4)bringing all the (D)good things out of (Em)me.

But for (C)now, love, let's be (G)real;

I (C)never thought I could (G)feel this way and I've (A7sus4)got to say that I (D)just don't get it.

(C)I don't know where (G)we went wrong,

but the (A7sus4)feelin's gone and I (D)just can't get it (G)back.

(Em)feet. But (C)stories always (G)end,

and (C)if you read (G)between the lines,

you'd (A7sus4)know that I'm just (D)tryin' to (Em)understand the (C)feelin's that you (G)lack.

I (C)never thought I could (G)feel this way and I've (A7sus4)got to say that I (D)just don't get it.

(C)I don't know where (G)we went wrong,

but the (A7sus4)feelin's gone and I (D)just can't get it back!
