Verse:
C If you could read my mind love
Gm What a tale my thoughts could tell
C Just like an old time movie
Gm ‘bout a ghost from a wishin’ well
C In a castle C7 dark or a F fortress strong
With G7 chains upon my Am feet
You F know that ghost is C me
And F I will never C be set free
As Dm long as I’m a G7 ghost that you can’t C see
Verse:
C If I could read your mind love
Gm What a tale your thoughts could tell
C Just like a paperback novel
Gm The kind that drugstores sell
C When you reach the C7 part where the F heartaches come
The G7 hero would be Am me
But F heroes often C fail
And F you won’t read that C book again
Be Dm cause the ending’s G7 just too hard to
C take C | Gm | Gm | C | C | Gm |
Verse:
C I’d walk a C7 way like a F movie star
Who gets G7 burned in a three way Am script
F Enter number C two
A F movie queen to C play the scene
Of Dm bringing all the G7 good things out in Am me
But for now F love, let’s be C real
I F never thought I could C act this way
And I’ve Dm got to say that I G7 just don’t get it
F I don’t know where C we went wrong
But the Dm feelin’s gone
And I G7 just can’t get it
