A (x02220@1)                             Em6/A
If you could read my mind love, what a tale my thoughts could tell.
A (x02220@1)                          Em6/A
Just like an old time movie, about a ghost from a wishing well.
A (x02220@1)         A9 (x02423@1)       D (xx0232@1)                   E (022100@1)            F#mIn (244222@1)a castle dark, or a fortress strong, with chains upon my feet.
D (xx0232@1)                AYou (x02220@1)know that ghost is me.
D (xx0232@1)              A/B (002520@1)          B7sus4 (x22200@1)       E (022100@1)                  AAnd (x02220@1)I will never be set free as long as I'm a ghost that you can't see.

A (x02220@1)                              Em6/A
Just like a paperback novel, the kind that the drugstore sells.
A (x02220@1)                A9 (x02423@1)           D (xx0232@1)                  E (022100@1)           F#mWhen (244222@1)you reach the part where the heartaches come, the hero would be me.
    D (xx0232@1)          ABut (x02220@1)heroes often fail.
    D (xx0232@1)                 A/B (002520@1)         B7sus4 (x22200@1)            E (022100@1)              AAnd (x02220@1)you won't read that book again, because the ending's just too hard to take.
