G (320003@1)          Gadd9If (135211@3)you could read my mind love
Dm/F
What a tale my thoughts could tell
G (320003@1)          Gadd9Just (135211@3)like an old time movie
Dm/F
'bout a ghost from a wishin' well
G (320003@1)         Gadd9 (135211@3)   CIn (x32010@1)a castle dark or a fortress strong
     D (xx0232@1)    EmWith (022000@1)chains upon my feet
    C (x32010@1)       GYou (320003@1)know that ghost is me
    C (x32010@1)          G/BAnd (143121@7)I will never be set free

Dm/F
What a tale your thoughts could tell
G (320003@1)         Gadd9Just (135211@3)like a paperback novel
Dm/F
The kind that drugstores sell
G (320003@1)                Gadd9 (135211@3)           CWhen (x32010@1)you reach the part where the heartaches come
    D (xx0232@1)  EmThe (022000@1)hero would be me
    C (x32010@1)          GBut (320003@1)heroes often fail
    C (x32010@1)                 G/BAnd (143121@7)you won't read that book again
  Am7sus             D (xx0232@1)      (G    Gadd9Dm/F (135211@3)x 2)
Because the ending's just too hard to take

G (320003@1)      Gadd9 (135211@3)     CI'd (x32010@1)walk away like a movie star
	 D (xx0232@1)       EmWho (022000@1)gets burned in a three-way script

        C (x32010@1)                GBut (320003@1)for now love, let's be real
    C (x32010@1)                 G/BI (143121@7)never thought I could feel this way 
         Am7sus            DAnd (xx0232@1)I've got to say that I just don't get it
C (x32010@1)                G/BI (143121@7)don't know where we went wrong
        Am7sus               D (xx0232@1)               (G  Gadd9x2) (135211@3)
