1.Intro:CapoII     G    F
2.Vers1
G                             F
If you could read my mind, love, What a tale my thoughts could tell.
G                             F
Just like an old time movie, 'Bout a ghost from a wishing well.

G             G7no5           C                   D              Em
In a castle dark or a fortress strong. With chains upon my feet.
      C                   G
You know that ghost is me.

    Cadd9            Bm5+         A7sus4              D                G
And I will never be set free as long as I'm a ghost that you can't see. 

3.Intro:
4.Vers2:
G                             F
If I could read your mind, love, what a tale your thoughts could tell.
G                             F
Just like a paperback novel, the kind the drugstores sell.
   G                  G7no5                C                    D              Em
Then you reached the part where the heartaches come, The hero would be me.
C                   G
But heroes often fail,
       Cadd9               Bm5+                  A7sus4                D            G
And you won't read that book again because the ending's just too hard to take!

5.Bridge:
G             G7no5           C                   D                     Em
I'd walk away like a movie star who gets burned in a three way script.
C               G
Enter number two:
   Cadd9            Bm5+                A7sus4              D                  G
A movie queen to play the scene of bringing all the good things out in me.
    C                           G
But for now, love, let's be real; 
    Cadd9                      Bm5+                 A7sus4                D                 
I never thought I could  feel this way and I've got to say that I just don't get it.
    Cadd9                      Bm5+                 A7sus4                D                  G
I don't know where we went wrong, but the feeling's gone And I just can't get it back. 

6.Vers 3:
G                             F
If you could read my mind, love what a tale my thoughts could tell.
G                             F
Just like an old time movie,'bout a ghost from a wishing well.
G             G7no5           C                   D              Em
In a castle dark or a fortress strong. With chains upon my feet.
C               G
But stories always end,
  Cadd9                      Bm5+                 A7sus4                D            G     
And if you read between the lines, you'd know that I'm just tryin' to understand
   C                      G
The feelin's that you lack.
   Cadd9                      Bm5+                 A7sus4                D                 
I never thought I could feel this way and I've got to say that I just don't get it
  Cadd9                      Bm5+                 A7sus4                D           G      
I don't know where we went wrong, but the feelin's gone And I just can't get it back!
