E Dmaj9
If you could read my mind, love, what a tale my thoughts could tell
E Dmaj9
Just like an old time movie 'bout a ghost from a wishin' well
E
E7 A B C#m
In a castle dark, or a fort-ress strong with chains around my feet
A E
You know that ghost is me
A Emaj7/Ab F#m7 B E
And I will never be set free as long as there's a ghost that you can't see
E Dmaj9
If I could read your mind, love, what a tale your thoughts would tell
E Dmaj9
Just like a paperback novel, the kind that drugstore's sell
E E7 A B C#m
When you reach the part where the heart aches come, the hero would be me
A E
But heroes often fail,
A Emaj7/Ab F#m7 B
And you won't read that book again be cause the ending's just too hard to
E
take
E E7 A B C#m
I'd walk away like a movie star who gets burned in a three-way script
A E
Enter number two
A Emaj7/Ab F#m7 B/D# C#m
A movie queen to play the scene of bringin' all the good things out in me
A E
But for now, love, let's be real
A Emaj7/Ab F#m7 B
I never thought I could act this way and I've got to say that I just don't
get it
A Emaj7/Ab F#m7 B/D#
I don't know where we went wrong, but the feeling's gone and I just can't
E
get it back
E Dmaj9
If you could read my mind, love, what a tale my thoughts could tell
E Dmaj9
Just like an old time movie 'bout a ghost from a wishin' well
E E7 A B C#m
In a castle dark, or a fortress strong with chains upon my feet
A E
But stories always end
A Emaj7/Ab F#m7 B/D#
If you read between the lines, you'll know that I'm just tryin' to
C#m
understand
A E
The feelings that you lack
A Emaj7/Ab F#m7 B
I never thought I could feel this way and I've got to say that I just don't
get it
A Emaj7/Ab F#m7 B/D#
I don't know where we went wrong, but the feeling's gone and I just can't
E
get it back
