If you could read my mind, love
G
What a tale my thoughts could tell
A
Just like an old time movie
G
'bout a ghost from a wishing-well
A D
In a castle dark or a fortress strong
E
With chains upon my feet
D A
You know that ghost is me
D
And I will never be set free
B7 E A
As long as I'm a ghost you can't see
A
If I could read your mind, love
G
What a tale your thoughts could tell
A
Just like a paperback novel
G
The kind that drugstores sell
A D
When you reach the part where the heartaches come
E
The hero would be me
D A
And heroes often fail
A
And you won't read that book again
B7 E A
Because the ending's just too hard to take
SOLO:
A G A G
A D
I'd walk away like a movie star
D
Who gets burned in a three way scr i pt
E A
And enter number two
D
A movie queen to play the scene
B7 E A
Of bringing all the good things out in me
D A
But for now, love, let's be real
D
I never thought I could act this way
B7 E
And I've got to say that I just don't get it
D
I don't know where we went wrong
B7
But the feeling's gone
E A
And I just can't get it back

What a tale my thoughts could tell

Just like an old time movie

'bout a ghost from a wishing-well
A D
In a castle dark or a fortress strong
E
With chains upon my feet
D A
The story always ends
D
And if you read between the lines
B7 E A
You’ll know that I’m just trying to understand
D A
The feeling that you lack
D
I never thought I could feel this way

I don't know where we went wrong
