If You Could Read My Mind Chords

Capo II
 
G
If you could read my mind love
F
What a tale my thoughts could tell
G
Just like an old time movie
F
'bout a ghost from a wishin' well
G           G7        C
In a castle dark or a fortress strong
     D              Em
With chains upon my feet
    C                  G
You know that ghost is me
    C            G
And I will never be set free
   Am7           D                    G
As long as I'm a ghost that you can't see
 
G
If I could read your mind love
F
What a tale your thoughts could tell
G
Just like a paperback novel
F
The kind that drugstores sell
G                  G7             C
When you reach the part where the heartaches come
    D             Em
The hero would be me
    C            G
But heroes often fail
    C                   G
And you won't read that book again
   Am7               D                G
Because the ending's just too hard to take
 
G F G F
 
G         G7         C
I'd walk away like a movie star
         D                     Em
Who gets burned in a three way script
C            G
Enter number two
  C              G
A movie queen to play the scene
   Am7              D                  Em
Of bringing all the good things out in me
C                          G
But for now love, let's be real
  C                     G
I never thought I could act this way         
Am7                        D
And I've got to say that I just don't get it
C                  G
I don't know where we went wrong      
        Am7
But the feelin's gone
      D                 G
And I just can't get it back
 
G
If you could read my mind love
F
What a tale my thoughts could tell
G
Just like an old time movie
F
'bout a ghost from a wishin' well
G           G7        C
In a castle dark or a fortress strong
     D              Em
With chains upon my feet
    C              G
But stories always end
    C             G
And if you read between the lines
       Am7                D              Em
You'll know that I'm just tryin' to understand
    C                 G
The feelin's that you lack
  C                     G
I never thought I could feel this way
         Am7               D
And I've got to say that I just don't get it
C                  G
I don't know where we went wrong
        Am7
But the feelin's gone
      D                 G
And I just can't get it back
