If you could read my mind love
F

What a tale my thoughts could tell
G

Just like an old time movie
F

'bout a ghost from a wishin' well
G		 C

In a castle dark or a fortress strong
     D		    Em

With chains upon my feet
    C		       G

You know that ghost is me
    C            G/B

And I will never be set free
   Am7           D		      G

As long as I'm a ghost that you can't see

If I could read your mind love
F

What a tale your thoughts could tell
G

Just like a paperback novel
F

The kind that drugstores sell
G		   		  C

When you reach the part where the heartaches come
    D		  Em

The hero would be me
    C            G

But heroes often fail
    C                   G/B

And you won't read that book again
   Am7               D		      G

Because the ending's just too hard to take

G		     C

I'd walk away like a movie star
	 D		       Em

Who gets burned in a three way script
C            G

Enter number two
  C              G/B

A movie queen to play the scene
   Am7              D		       G

Of bringing all the good things out in me
C                          G/B

But for now love, let's be real
    C                     G/B

* I never thought I could act this way *
         Am7               D

And I've got to say that I just don't get it
C                  G/B

I don't know where we went wrong
        Am7

But the feelin's gone
      D                 G

And I just can't get it back

'bout a ghost from a wishin' well
G                     C

In a castle dark or a fortress strong
     D              Em

With chains upon my feet
    C              G

But stories always end
    C           G/B

And if you read between the lines
       Am7                D              G

You'll know that I'm just tryin' to understand
    C                 G/B

The feelin's that you lack
  C                     G/B

I never thought I could feel this way
         Am7               D

And I've got to say that I just don't get it
C                  G/B

I don't know where we went wrong
Am7

But the feelin's gone
      D                 G

And I just can't get it back
