Intro

AIf you could read my mind love, Em6whatA a tale my thoughts could tell.
AJust like an old time movie, Em6abouAt a ghost from a wishing well.
AIn a castle A9dark, or a Dfortress strong, with Echains upon my F♯mfeet.
DYou know that ghostA is me.
DAnd I will never A/Bbe set free as B7sus4long as I'm a gEhost that you can't sAee.

AIf I could read your mind love, Em6whatA a tale your thoughts could tell.
AJust like a paperback novel, the Em6kindA that the drugstore sells.
AWhen you reach the A9part where the Dheartaches come, the Ehero would be F♯mme.
But Dheroes often Afail.
And Dyou won't read that A/Bbook again, beB7sus4cause the ending's jEust too hard to tAake.

    E   DE   A Em6 A

Chorus
AI'd walk aA9way like a Dmovie star who gets Eburned in a three way F♯mscript.
DEnter number Atwo..a Dmovie queen to A/Bplay the scene of B7sus4bringing all the
Egood things out in F♯mme.
But for Dnow, love, let's be Areal.
I Dnever thought I could A/Bact this way, and I've B7sus4got to say that I jEust

don't get it.
DI don't know where A/Bwe went wrong but the B7sus4feeling's gone and I jEust
can't get it Aback.

AIf you could read my mind love, Em6whatA a tale my thoughts could tell.
AJust like an old time movie, Em6abouAt a ghost from a wishing well.
AIn a castle A9dark, or a Dfortress strong, with Echains upon my F♯mfeet.
But Dstories always Aend.
And Dif you read beA/Btween the lines, you'll B7sus4know that I'm just tErying
to underF♯mstand, the Dfeelings that you Alack.
I Dnever thought I could A/Bfeel this way, and I B7sus4got to say that
I Ejust don't get it.
DI don't know where A/Bwe went wrong but the B7sus4feeling's gone
and I Ejust can't get it Aback.  A9     Em6         A            A
