If You Could Read My Mind chords and lyrics - GORDON LIGHTFOOT

Lời & hợp âm

[Intro 1]
[G][G][G][G]

[Verse 1]
[G]If you could read my mind, love
[Dm]What a tale my thoughts could tell
[G]Just like an old time movie
[Dm]'Bout a ghost from a wishing well
[G]In a castle dark or a for[C]tress strong
With [D]chains upon my [Em]feet
You [C]know that ghost is [G]me
And [C]I will never b[Bm]e set free
As [Am]long as I am a [D]ghost,
you can't [G]see[G]

[Verse 2]
[G]If I could read your mind, love
[Dm]What a tale your thoughts could tell
[G]Just like a paperback novel
[Dm]The kind the drugstore sells
[G]When you reach the part
where the [C]heartaches come
The [D]hero would be [Em]me
But [C]heroes often [G]fail
And [C]you won't read that [Bm]book again
Be[Am]cause the ending's [D]just too hard to take

[Interlude 1]
[G][G][Dm][Dm]
[G][G][Dm][Dm]

[Verse 3]
[G]I'd walk away like a movie[C] star
Who gets [D]burned in a three way [Em]script
[C]Enter number [G]two,
a [C]movie queen to [Bm]play the scene
Of [Am]bringing all the [D]good things out in [Em]me
But for [C]now, love, let's be [G]real
I [C]never thought I could [Bm]act this way
And I've [Am]got to say that I j[D]ust don't get it
[C]I don't know where we [Bm]went wrong
But the [Am]feeling's gone and I
[D]just can't get it [G]back[G][G][G]

[Verse 4]
[G]If you could read my mind, love
[Dm]What a tale my thoughts could tell
[G]Just like an old time movie
[Dm]'Bout a ghost from a wishing well
[G]In a castle dark or a for[C]tress strong
With [D]chains upon my [Em]feet
But [C]stories always [G]end
And [C]if you read be[Bm]tween the lines
You'll [Am]know that I'm just [D]trying to under[Em]stand
The [C]feelings that you [G]lack
I [C]never thought I could [Bm]feel this
And I've [Am]got to say that I j[D]ust don't get it
[C]I don't know where we [Bm]went wrong
But the [Am]feeling's gone
And I [D]just can't get it back

[Outro 1]
