	        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.   
  
E   D   E   D   E   fade
