Intro A

If you could read my mind, love 
Em 
What a tale my thoughts would tell 
A 
Just like an old time movie 
Em 
'bout a ghost from a wishin' well 
A           A7        D 
In a castle dark or a fortress strong 
     E              F#m 
With chains upon my feet 
    D                  A 
You know that ghost is me 
    D            A 
And I will never be set free 
   D             E                    A 
As long as I'm a ghost that you can't see

If I could read your mind, love, 
Em 
What a tale your thoughts would tell 
A 
Just like a paper-back novel 
Em 
The kind that drug stores sell 
A                  A7             D 
When you reach the part where the heartaches come 
    E             F#m 
The hero would be me 
D            A 
Heroes often fail 
D                   A 
You won't read that book again 
D                    E                A  
Because the ending's just too hard to take 

A7                 D 
I walk away like a movie star 
         E                     F#m 
Who gets burned in a three-way script 
D            A 
Enter number two 
  D              A 
A movie queen to play the scene  
   D                E                  F#m 
Of bringing all the good things out in me 
        D                  A 
But for now love, let's be real 
  D                     A 
I never thought I could act this way 
     D                 E 
I've got to say that I just don't get it 
D                  A 
I don't know where we went wrong 
        D                    E                 A 
But the feeling's gone and I just can't get it back

Stories have to end

And if you read between the lines
