Lời & hợp âm

[Intro 1]
[C]

[Verse 1]
If you could [C]read my mind, [Bb]love
What a tale my thoughts could [C]tell
Just like an old—time[Bb]movie
'Bout a ghost from a wishin' [C]well
In a castle dark or a fort[F]ress strong
With [G]chains upon my [Am]feet
[F]You know that ghost is [C]me
And [F]I will never b[C]e set free
As [G]long as I'm a ghost that you can't [C]see
If I could read your mind, [Bb]love
What a tale your thoughts could [C]tell
Just like a paperback [Bb]novel
The kind the drugstores [C]sell
When you reach the part where
the [F]heartaches come
The [G]hero would [Am]be me
[F]But heroes often [C]fail
And [F]you won't read that [Em]book [C]again
Be[Dm]cause the [G]ending's just [Gsus4]too
[G]hard [C]to [Bb]take[F][Bb][C][Bb]
[C]
I'd walk away like a movie [F]star
Who gets [G]burned in a [Am]three—way script
[F]Enter number [C]two
A [F]movie queen [Em]to play [C]the scene
Of [Dm]bringing all the [G]good
things out in [Am]me
But for [F]now, love, let's be [C]real
I [F]never thought I could [C]act this way
I've [Dm]got to say that I j[G]ust don't get it
[F]I don't know where w[C]e went wrong
But [Dm]the feeling's gone and I
[G]just can't get it [C]back
If you could read my mind, [Bb]love
What a tale my thoughts could tell
[C]Just like an old[Bb]—time movie
'Bout a ghost from a wishin' [C]well
In a castle dark or a fort
[F]ress strong
[G]With chains upon [Am]my feet
[F]But stories always en[C]d
And [F]if you read [C]between the lines
You'll [Dm]know that I'm just try
[G]in' to under[Am]stand
[F]The feelings that you [C]lack
[F]I never thought I could [C]feel this way
I've [Dm]got to say that I j[G]ust don't get it
[F]I don't know where we [C]went wrong
But [Dm]the feeling's gone and I
[G]just can't get [C]it back
