If You Could Read My Mind

G        G         F         F
          If only,   I could read your mind.
G        G         F         F
          If only,   I could read your mind love.

{Verse 1}
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 wishing well.

{Verse 2}
G                         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,
   Am            D                     G
as long as I'm a ghost, that you can't see.

{Verse 3}
G
 If I could read your mind love,
F
 what a tale your thoughts could tell.
G
 Just like a paperback novel,
F
 'ah the kind the drugstores sell.

{Verse 4}
G
And when you reached the part;

          C
Where the heartaches come.
    D               Em
The heroin would be me.
    C             G
But heroins often fail.

{Bridge}
    C                   G
And you won't read that book again.
  Am                 D              G
Because the ending's just, too hard to take..
F            G         F
uhu,  uhuhu, yeah

{Verse 5}
G                         C
  I'd walk away, like a movie star.
          D                          G
Who gets burned in a three way script.
    C               G
And enter number two.
  C              G
A movie king, to play the scene;
   Am               D                   Em
Of bringing all the good things, out in me.

{Coda}
        C                  G
But for now love, let's be real.

{Outro}
  C                      G
I never thought, I could feel this way.
         Am
And I've gotta say;
       D
That I just don't get it.
C                     Gm
I don't know where we went wrong,
        Am                   D                 G
but the feeling's gone and I just can't get it back...
