Chords with lyrics

Key: 'C'

Intro:

 C majorC


C majorC
If you could read my mind, love
Bb majorBb
What a tale my thoughts could tell
C majorC
Just like an old time movie
Bb majorBb
'Bout a ghost from a wishing well
C majorC
In a castle dark
    FF          G+G       A minorAm
Or a fortress strong, with chains around my feet
   FF         C majorC
You know that ghost is me
  FF      C/EC/E
And I will never be set free
   DmDm        G+G         C majorC
As long as there's a ghost that you can't see

C majorC
If i could read your mind, love
Bb majorBb
What a tale your thoughts would tell
C majorC
Just like a paperback novel
Bb majorBb
The kind the drugstores sell
C majorC
When you reached the part
      FF          G+G     A minorAm
Where the heartaches come, the hero would be me
   FF      C majorC
But heroes often fail
   FF          C/EC/E
And you won't read that book again
  DmDm         G+G        C majorC
Because the ending's just too hard to take

Solo: C majorC Bb majorBb C majorC Bb majorBb C majorC Bb majorBb

 C majorC
I'd walk away
     FF           G+G         A minorAm
Like a movie star, who gets burned in a three-way script
 FF      C majorC
Enter number two
  FF       C/EC/E
A augmentedA movie queen to play the scene
   DmDm       G+G         A minorAm
Of bringing all the good things out in me

     FF         C majorC
But for now, love, let's be real
  FF          C/EC/E
I never thought
I could act this way
     DmDm         G+G
And I've got to say that I just don't get it
  FF        C/EC/E
I don't know where we went wrong
      DmDm         G+G         C majorC
But the feeling's gone, and I just can't get it back

C majorC
If you could read my mind, love
Bb majorBb
What a tale my thoughts could tell
C majorC
Just like an old time movie
Bb majorBb
'Bout a ghost from a wishing well
C majorC
In a castle dark
    FF          G+G      A minorAm
Or a fortress strong, with chains upon my feet
    FF      C majorC
But stories always end
  FF    C/EC/E
If you read between the lines
    DmDm        G+G      A minorAm
Tough i'll know that I'm just trying to understand
   FF       C majorC
The feelings that you lack
  FF       C/EC/E
I never thought I could feel this way
    DmDm        G+G
And I've got to say that I just don't get it
  FF       C/EC/E
I don't know where we went wrong
      DmDm         G+G         C majorC
 But the feeling's gone, and I just can't get it back

Final: C majorC Bb majorBb C majorC
