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 fortr   -   ess strong with chains around my feet

A                                   E

You know that ghost is me

        A                Emaj7/G#                  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/G#                F#m7                                B                              E

And you won't read that book          again be   -        cause the ending's just too hard to take

E                          E7               A                           B                                           C#m

      I'd walk away      lik a mo - vie star who gets burned in a three-way script

A                           E

Enter number two

     A                     Emaj7/G#                       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/G#                         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/G#                                F#m7                      B/D#                        E

      I don't know where we           went wrong, but the feeling's gone and I just can't 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 fortr   -   ess strong with chains upon my feet

        A                   E

But stories always end

A                      Emaj7/G#                          F#m7                     B/D#                             C#m

If you read bet    -     ween the lines, you'll know that I'm just tryin' to understand the

        A                        E

The feelings that you lack

   A                               Emaj7/G#                         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/G#                                F#m7                      B/D#                        E

      I don't know where we           went wrong, but the feeling's gone and I just can't get it back
