Tom: C
G
[Verse]
Dm
If you could read my mind, love
G
What a tale my thoughts would tell
Dm
Just like an old time movie
G
'Bout a ghost from a wishing well
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/B
And I will never be set free
Am D G
As long as I'm a ghost that you can't see
[Verse]
Dm
If I could read your mind, love
G
What a tale your thoughts would tell
Dm
Just like a paper-back novel
G
The kind the drug store sells
C
When you reach the part where the heartaches come
D Em
The hero would be me
C G
Heroes often fail
C G/B
You won't read that book again
Am D G G7
Because the ending's just too hard to take
[Bridge]
C
I’ll walk away like a movie star
D Em
Who gets burned in a three-way script
C G
Enter number two
C G/B
A movie queen to play the scene
Am D Em
Of bringing all the good things out in me
C G
But for now, love, let's be real
[Chorus]
C G/B
I never thought I could act this way
Am D C
I've got to say that I just don't get it
G/B
I don't know where we went wrong
C D G
But the feeling's gone and I just can't get it back
[Verse]
Dm
If you could read my mind, love
G
What a tale my thoughts would tell
Dm
Just like an old time movie
G
'Bout a ghost from a wishing well
C
In a castle dark or a fortress strong
D Em
With chains upon my feet
C G
Stories have to end
C G/B
And if you read between the lines
Am D C
You'll know that I'm just trying to understand
C G
The feelings that you lack
[Chorus]
C G/B
I never thought I could act this way
Am D C
I've got to say that I just don't get it
G/B
I don't know where we went wrong
C D C
But the feelings gone and I just can't get it
G/B
Never thought I could act this way (Oooh)
Am D C
I've got to say that I just don't get it (Oooh)
G/B
I don't know where we went wrong (Oooh)
Am D G
But the feelings gone and I just can't get it back
