Gadd9: 320203 Dm/F: 100230 Am7sus: 002030 G/B: 020030
[G]If you could [Gadd9]read my mind love
[Dm/F]What a tale my thoughts could tell
[G]Just like an [Gadd9]old time movie
[Dm/F]'bout a ghost from a wishin' well
[G]In a castle [Gadd9]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 [Am7sus]long as I'm a [D]ghost that you can't s[G]ee[Gadd9]
[G]If I could [Gadd9]read your mind love
[Dm/F]What a tale your thoughts could tell
[G]Just like a [Gadd9]paperback novel
[Dm/F]The kind that drugstores sell
[G]When you reach the [Gadd9]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
Am7sus D (G Gadd9 Dm/F 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 [D]good things o[Em]ut in me
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 [Am7sus]got to say that I [D]just don't get it
[C]I don't know where [G/B]we went wrong
Am7sus D (G Gadd9 x2)
But the feeling's gone and I just can?t get it back
[G]If you could [Gadd9]read my mind love
[Dm/F]What a tale my thoughts could tell
[G]Just like an [Gadd9]old time movie
[Dm/F]'bout a ghost from a wishin' well
[G]In a castle [Gadd9]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 [Am7sus]know that I'm just [D]tryin' to under[Em]stand
The [C]feelings that you [G]lack
I [C]never thought I could [G/B]feel this way
And I've [Am7sus]got to say that I [D]just don't get it
[C]I don't know where [G/B]we went wrong
But the [Am7sus]feeling's gone
And I [D]just can't get it [G]back[Gadd9] [Dm/F] [G]
