If You Could Read My Mind Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[D]If you could read my mind, love
[C]What a tale my thoughts could tell
[D]Just like an old time movie
[C]About a ghost from a wishing well
[D]In a castle dark or a fort[G]ress strong
With [A]chains upon my [Bm]feet
You [G]know that ghost is [D]me
And [G]I will never b[D]e set free
As [Em]long as I am a [A]ghost that you can't [D]see
If I could read your mind, love,
[C]what a tale your thoughts could tell
[D]Just like a paperback novel,
[C]the kind that drugstores sell
[D]When you reach the part where the [C]heartaches [G]come,
[A]the hero would be [Bm]me
But [G]heroes often fail
[D]And you[G] won't read
that [D]book again
Because [Em]the endings are [A]just
too hard to [D]take[C][D][C][D]
I'd walk away like a [G]movie star who gets
[A]burned in a three -way [Bm]street
En[G]ter number [D]two, the [G]movie queen to [D]play the
scene of [Em]bringing all the good [A]things out in me
[Bm]But for now,[G] let's be real[D] I never[G]
thought I could [D]feel this way
And I've [Em]got to say that I j[A]ust don't get it
[G]I don't know where w[D]e went wrong
But the [Em]feeling's gone and
I [A]just can't get it [D]back
If you could read my mind, love,
[C]what a tale my thoughts could tell
[D]Just like an old time movie,
[C]but a ghost from wishing well
[D]In a castle dark, or a fort[G]ress strong,
with [A]chains upon my [Bm]feet
But [G]stories always [D]en d
And [G]if you read between [D]the lines
You'll [Em]know that I'm just
try[A]ing to understand
[Bm]The feel[G]ings that you lack[D]
I [G]never thought I could [D]feel this way
And I've [Em]got to say that
I [A]just don't get it
[G]I don't know where w[D]e went wrong
But the feel[Em]ing's gone
And [A]I just can't get it [D]back
