If you could read my mind

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 you could read my 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, F#m 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. 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 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.
