[G]If you could [Gadd9]read my mind love
[cb]Dm/F[/cb] [cb]Dm9/F[/cb]
What a tale my thoughts could tell
[G]Just like an [Gadd9]old time movie
[cb]Dm/F[/cb] [cb]Dm9/F[/cb]
'bout a ghost from a wishin' well
[G]In a castle [G7]dark or a [C]fortress strong
With [D]chains upon my [Em]feet
You [C]know that ghost is [G]me
And [C]I will never [G/B]be set free
As [A7sus]long as I'm a [D9]ghost that you can't s[G]ee[Gadd9]
--------------
[G]If I could [Gadd9]read your mind love
[cb]Dm/F[/cb] [cb]Dm9/F[/cb]
What a tale your thoughts could tell
[G]Just like a [Gadd9]paperback novel
[cb]Dm/F[/cb] [cb]Dm9/F[/cb]
The kind that drugstores sell
[G]When you reach the [G7]part where the hea[C]rtaches come
The [D]hero would be [Em]me
But [C]heroes often [G]fail
And [C]you won't read that [G/B]book again
A7sus D9 (G Gadd9 [cb]Dm/F[/cb] x 2)
Because the ending's just too hard to take

[G]I'd walk [Gadd9]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 [G/B]play the scene
Of [Am7sus]bringing all the [D9]good things out in me[Em]
But for [C]now love, let's be [G]real
I ne[C]ver thought I could [G/B]feel this way
And I've [A7sus]got to say that I [D9]just don't get it
[C]I don't know where [G/B]we went wrong
Am7sus D9 (G Gadd9 x2)
But the feeling's gone and I just can’t get it back
