If You Could Read My Mind Gordon Lightfoot
[Verse 1]
[G]If you could [Gadd9]read my mind love
[Dm6/F]What a tale my thoughts could tell
[G]Just like an [Gadd9]old time movie
[Dm6/F]'bout a ghost from a wishin' well
[G]In a castle [G9]dark or a [C]fortress strong
With [D7/F#]chains upon my [Em]feet
You [C]know that ghost is [G]me
And [C]I will never [G/B]be set free
As [Am7]long as I'm a [D]ghost that you can't [G]see[Gadd9]
[Cborus]
[G]If I could re[Gadd9]ad your mind love
[Dm6/F]What a tale your thoughts could tell
[G]Just like a p[Gadd9]aperback novel
[Dm6/F]The kind that drugstores sell
[G]When you reach the [G9]part where the [C]heartaches come
The [D7/F#]hero would be [Em]me
But [C]heroes often [G]fail
And [C]you won't read that [G/B]book again
Bec[Am7]ause the ending's [D]just too hard to [G]take[Gadd9]
[Outro]
[G] [Gadd9] [G] [Gadd9] [Dm6/F] [Dm6/F] [G] [Gadd9] [G] [Gadd9] [Dm6/F] [Dm6/F]
[Verse 2]
[G]I'd walk a[G9]way like a [C]movie star
Who gets [D7/F#]burned in a three way [Em]script
[C]Enter number [G]two
A [C]movie queen to [G/B]play the scene
Of [Am7]bringing all the [D]good things out in [Em]me
[G]But for now love, let's be [Gadd9]real
I [C]never thought I could [G/B]act this way
[Am7]And I've got to say that I [D]just don't get it
[C]I don't know where [G/B]we went wrong
But the [Am7]feelin's gone
And I [D]just can't get it [G]back[Gadd9]
[Instrumental]
[G] [Gadd9]
[Cborus]
[G]If you could [Gadd9]read my mind love
[Dm6/F]What a tale my thoughts could tell
[G]Just like an [Gadd9]old time movie
[Dm6/F]'bout a ghost from a wishin' well
[G]In a castle [G9]dark or a [C]fortress strong
With [D]chains upon my [Em]feet
But [C]stories always [G]end
And [C]if you read be[G/B]tween the lines
You'll [Am7]know that I'm just [D]tryin' to under[Em]stand
The [C]feelin's that you [G]lack
I [C]never thought I could [G/B]feel this way
And I've [Am7]got to say that I [D]just don't get it
[C]I don't know where [G/B]we went wrong
But the [Am7]feelin's gone
And I [D]just can't get it [G]back [Gadd9] [Dm6/F] [G]
