Intro C 

C 
If you could read my mind, love 
Bb 
What a tale my thoughts could tell 
C 
Just like an old time movie 
Bb 
'Bout a ghost from a wishing well 
C           
In a castle dark 
       F                    G             Am 
Or a fortress strong, with chains around my feet 
      F                 C 
You know that ghost is me 
    F           C/E 
And I will never be set free 
     Dm                G                  C 
As long as there's a ghost that you can't see 

C 
If i could read your mind, love 
Bb 
What a tale your thoughts would tell 
C 
Just like a paperback novel 
Bb 
The kind the drugstores sell 
C                     
When you reached the part 
            F                   G          Am 
Where the heartaches come, the hero would be me 
      F           C 
But heroes often fail 
     F                   C/E 
And you won't read that book again 
   Dm                  G               C 
Because the ending's just too hard to take 

Solo C  Bb  C  Bb  C  Bb 

 C        
I'd walk away 
         F                     G                 Am 
Like a movie star, who gets burned in a three-way script 
 F            C 
Enter number two 
   F              C/E 
A movie queen to play the scene 
      Dm             G                 Am 
Of bringing all the good things out in me 

         F                 C 
But for now, love, let's be real 
   F                    C/E 
I never thought, I could act this way 
          Dm                 G 
And I've got to say that I just don't get it 
   F               C/E 
I don't know where we went wrong 
           Dm                 G                 C    
But the feeling's gone, and I just can't get it back 

C 
If you could read my mind, love 
Bb 
What a tale my thoughts could tell 
C 
Just like an old time movie 
Bb 
'Bout a ghost from a wishing well 
C           
In a castle dark 
        F                    G           Am 
Or a fortress strong, with chains upon my feet 
       F           C 
But stories always end 
    F        C/E 
If you read between the lines 
        Dm                G           Am 
Tough i'll know that I'm just trying to understand 
      F              C 
The feelings that you lack 
   F              C/E 
I never thought I could feel this way 
        Dm                G 
And I've got to say that I just don't get it 
   F              C/E 
I don't know where we went wrong 
           Dm                  G                 C   
 But the feeling's gone, and I just can't get it back
