    G Dm6/F
  • If you could read my mind love, what a tale my thoughts could tell
    G Dm6/F
    Just like an old time movie 'bout a ghost from a wishin' well
  • G G7 C D Em
    In a castle dark or a fortress strong with chains upon my feet
    C G [Fill #2]
  • You know that ghost is me
    C G/B Am7 D G
    And I will never be set free as long as I'm a ghost that you can't see

    [Riff #1] G
     
  • G Dm6/F
    If I could read your mind love, what a tale your thoughts could tell
    G Dm6/F
  • Just like a paperback novel the kind that drugstores sell
    G G7 C D Em
    When you reach the part where the heartaches come the hero would be me
  • C G [Fill #2]
    But heroes often fail
    C G/B Am7 D G
  • And you won't read that book again because the ending's just too hard to take
     
    [Fill #3] G Dm6/F G Dm6/F [Fill #3]

    G G7 C D Em
    I'd walk away like a movie star who gets burned in a three way script
  • C G [Fill #2]
    Enter number two
    C G/B Am7 D Em
  • A movie queen to play the scene of bringing all the good things out in me
    C G [Fill #2]
    But for now love, let's be real
  • C G/B Am7 D
    I never thought I could act this way and I've got to say that I just don't get it
    C G/B Am7 D G
  • I don't know where we went wrong but the feelin's gone and I just can't get it back
     
    G (Riff #1)

    G Dm6/F
    If you could read my mind love, what a tale my thoughts could tell
  • G Dm6/F
    Just like an old time movie 'bout a ghost from a wishin' well
    G G7 C D Em
  • In a castle dark or a fortress strong with chains upon my feet
    C G [Fill #2]
    But stories always end
  • C G/B Am7 D Em
    And if you read between the lines you'll know that I'm just tryin' to understand
    C G [Fill #2]
  • The feelin's that you lack
    C G/B Am7 D
    I never thought I could feel this way and I've got to say that I just don't get it
  • C G/B Am7 D G
    I don't know where we went wrong but the feelin's gone And I just can't get it back

    G Dm6/F (rit.) G
