If You Could Read My Mind chords by Gene Clark

Guitar chords with lyrics

Intro A

A
If you could read my mind, love
Em
What a tale my thoughts would tell
A
Just like an old time movie
Em
'bout a ghost from a wishin' well
A           A7        D
In a castle dark or a fortress strong
     E              F#m
With chains upon my feet
    D                  A
You know that ghost is me
    D            A
And I will never be set free
   D             E                    A
As long as I'm a ghost that you can't see
🎸

A
If I could read your mind, love,
Em
What a tale your thoughts would tell
A
Just like a paper-back novel
Em
The kind that drug stores sell
A                  A7             D
When you reach the part where the heartaches come
    E             F#m
The hero would be me
D            A
Heroes often fail
D                   A
You won't read that book again
D                    E                A
Because the ending's just too hard to take

A7                 D
I walk away like a movie star
         E                     F#m
Who gets burned in a three-way script
D            A
Enter number two
  D              A
A movie queen to play the scene
   D                E                  F#m
Of bringing all the good things out in me
        D                  A
But for now love, let's be real
  D                     A
I never thought I could act this way
     D                 E
I've got to say that I just don't get it
D                  A
I don't know where we went wrong
        D                    E                 A
But the feeling's gone and I just can't get it back

'bout a ghost from a wishin' well
A           A7         D
In a castle dark or a fortress strong
     E              F#m
With chains upon my feet
D               A
Stories have to end
    D              A
And if you read between the lines
       D                  E               F#m
You'll know that I'm just trying to understand
    D                 A
The feelings that you lack
  D                     A
I never thought I could act this way
     D                 E
I've got to say that I just don't get it
D                  A
I don't know where we went wrong
        D                    E
But the feeling's gone and I just can't get it
D                     A
Never thought I could act this way
     D                 E
I've got to say that I just don't get it
D                  A
I don't know where we went wrong
        D                    E                 A
But the feeling's gone and I just can't get it back
