A             AaddB          
 If you could read my mind love
G6     
  what a tale my thoughts could tell
A            AaddB
 Just like an old time movie
G6     
  'bout a ghost from a wishing well
A                       D
 In a castle dark or a fortress strong
        E            F#m
with chains upon my feet
      D                A
You know that ghost is me
    D           A/C#    
And I will never be set free
    Bm             E                   A  AaddB  G6  A  G6   
as long as I'm a ghost that you can't see


A                      D   
 I'd walk away like a movie star
          E                      F#m
who gets burned in a three-way script
D             A
Enter number two
   D             A/C#
A movie queen to play the scene
    Bm               E                 F#m         
of bringing all the good things out of me
         D                 A
But for now love let's be real
   D                    A/C#         
I never thought I could feel this way 
         Bm                 E  
And I've got to say that I just don't get it
D                  A/C#
 I don't know where we went wrong
         Bm                  E                 A   AaddB  A  AaddB
but the feelin's gone and I just can't get it back


A     AaddB         
 If I could read your mind love
G6
  what a tale your thoughts could tell
A            AaddB
 Just like a paperback novel
G6
  the kind the drug stores sell
A
 Then you reached the part
           D    
where the heartaches come
     E            F#m
the hero would be me
    D            A
But heros often fail
     D                  A/C#
And you won't read that book again
   Bm                 E                A
because the ending's just too hard to take
