If I Could Read Your Mind

Written by Gordon Lightfoot

	  		
G                                      A#/G   
If you could read my mind love, what a tale my thoughts could tell.    
G                                      A#/G    
Just like an old time movie, 'bout a ghost from a wishing well.    
G                G7               C                          D                     Em   C                               G    
In a castle dark, or a fortress strong, with chains upon my feet, you know that ghost is me,     
        C                 G/B                Am                       D                            G       G add A    
And I will never be set free, as long as I'm a ghost, that you can see.    
    
G                                      F    
If I could read your mind love, what a tale your thoughts could tell.    
G                                      F     
Just like a paperback novel, the kind the drugstore sells.    
G                                                         C                               D                  Em   C                      G    
When you reach the part, where the heartaches come, the hero would be me,  heroes often fail,    
        C                         G/B             Am                               D                     G        G add A    
And you won't read that book again, because the ending just too hard to take!    
    
G   G (add A)... F    G     F    G    
        
G                             C                            D                              Em      C                 G    
I walk away, like a movie star, who gets burned in a three way script, enter number two,    
    C                    G/B                              Am             D                          Em            C                         G    
A movie queen to play the scene of bringing all the good things out in me, but for now love lets be real;    
   C                             G/B                            Am                    D    
I never thought I could act this way and I've got to say that I just don't get it,    
C                           G/B                            Am                           D                    G    
I don't know where we went wrong but the feelings gone and I just can't get it back.     
       
G                                      F     
If you could read my mind love, what a tale my thoughts could tell.    
G                                      F     
Just like an old time movie, 'bout a ghost from a wishing well.    
G                              C                           D                     Em        C                   G    
In a castle dark or a fortress strong, with chains upon my feet, but stories always end.    
       C              G/B                              Am                                D                   Em          C                     G    
And if you read between the lines, you'll know that Im just trying to understand, the feelin's that you left.    
    
   C                             G/B                          Am                   D                 
I never thought I could feel this way and I've got to say that I just don't get it.    
C                          G/B                            Am                      D                    G    
I don't know where we went wrong but the feelings gone and I just can't get it back!    
    
G   G A    F    G   F    G
