If You Could Read My Mind Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G]If you could read my mind, lov[F]e,
what a tale my thoughts could tell.
[G]Just like an old -time movie
[F]about a ghost from a wishing [Dm]well.
[F]In [G]a castle dark, or a for[C]tress strong,
with chains [D]upon [C]my [D]feet[Em]
Well [C]you know that ghost is [G]me,
and [C]I will never be set f[G]ree
As [C]long as I'm the [D]ghost that you can't [G]see
If I could read your mind, [F]love,
what a tale your thought[G]s could tell
[Dm]Just[F] like [G]a paperback novel,[F]
the kind that drugstores sell
[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 [G]book again
Because [C]the ending's [D]just too
hard to [G]take[F][G][F]
[G]
I'd walk away like a [C]movie star
who gets [D]burned in a three
-way [Em]script
[C]Enter number [G]two, a [C]movie queen to play [G]the
scene of [C]bringing all the [D]good things out in me
[Em]But for now,[C] love, let's be re[G]al
I [C]never thought I could act [G]this way
But I've [C]got to say that I [D]just don't get it
[C]I don't know where w[G]e went wrong
But the [C]feeling's gone
and I [D]just can't get it [G]back
If you could read my mind, [F]love,
what a tale my thought
[Bdim]s would tell[G][Dm][F]
[G]Just like an old time movie
[F]about a ghost from a wishing well
[G]In a castle dark or a fortres[C]s strong
with [D]chains upon my [Em]feet
Ah, but [C]stories have an [G]end
And [C]if you read between [G]the lines,
you'll [C]know that I'm just
try[D]ing to understand
[Em]All the feel[C]ings that we lack[G]
I [C]never thought I could [G]feel this way
But I've [C]got to say that I [D]just don't get it
[C]I don't know where we went w[G]rong
But the [C]feeling's gone,
and I [D]just can't get it [G]back
