If You Could Read My Mind  Gordon Lightfoot



[A]If you could read my mind love, what a tal[G]e my thoughts could tell.
[A]Just like an old time movie,' bout a[G] ghost from a wishing well.
[A]                         [D]           [E] [A]In a castle dark or a fortress strong with chains upon my feet.
[D]You know that ghost is me.[A]
[D]                    [E]                [D] [E]And [A]I will never be set free as long as I'm a ghost that you can't see.
[A]If I could read your mind love, what a [G]tale your thoughts could tell.
[A]Just like a paper-back novel, the kind[G] the drugstore sells.
[A]                                    [D] [E]When you reach the [A]part where the heartaches come the hero would be me.
[D]But heroes often fail.[A]...
[D]                          [E]          [D] [E]You won't rea[A]d that book again because the endings just too hard to take.
[A]  [-]  [G]  [-]  [A]  [-]  [G]  [A]                        [D]            [E]I wa[A]lk away, like a movie star who gets burned in a three-way script...
[D]Enter, number two..[A]..
[D]                        [E]            [D] [E]A movie quee[A]n to play the scene of bringin' all the good things out in me.
But for n[D]ow love, let's be real...[A].
[D]                               [E]     [D]I [E]never thought I could act this way and I've got to say that I just don't
get it.
[D]                         [E]           [D]I do[E]n't know where we we[A]nt wrong but the feelings gone and I just can't get
it back.
[A]If you could read my mind love, what a tal[G]e my thoughts could tell.
[A]Just like an old time movie, ' bout a[G] ghost from a wishing well.
[A]In a castle dark, or a for[D]tress strong, with chains up[E]on my feet.[A]
[D]But the story always ends.[A]...
[D]                     [E]               [D] [E]And if you read bet[A]ween the lines you'll know that I'm just trying to
understand.
[D]The feelings that you lack...[A].
[D]                               [E]     [D]I n[E]ever thought I could feel this way and I've got to say, that I just don't
get it.
[D]                         [E]           [D]I don'[E]t know where we went[A] wrong but the feelings gone and I just can't get
it back.
