E
If you could read my mind, love
D
What a tale my thoughts could tell.
E
Just like an old time movie,
D
'Bout a ghost from a wishing well.
EE7
In a castle dark,
ABC#m
Or a fortress strong, with chains around my feet.
AE
You know that ghost is me,
AE
And I will never be set free,
ABE
As long as there?s a ghost that you can't see.
E
If i could read your mind, love,
D
What a tale your thoughts would tell.
E
Just like a paperback novel,
D
The kind the drugstores sell.
EE7
When you reached the part
ABC#m
Where the heartaches come, the hero would be me.
AE
But heroes often fail.
AE
And you won't read that book again,
ABE
Because the ending's just too hard to take.
EDEDEDEE7
I'd walk away
ABC#m
Like a movie star, who gets burned in a three-way script.
AE
Enter number two:
AE
A movie queen to play the scene
ABE
Of bringing all the good things out in me
AE
But for now, love, let's be real.
AE
I never thought, I could act this way.
AB
And I've got to say that I just don't get it.
AE
I don't know where we went wrong,
ABE
But the feeling's gone, and I just can't get it back.

'Bout a ghost from a wishing well.
EE7
In a castle dark,
ABC#m
Or a fortress strong, with chains upon my feet.
AE
But stories always end
AE
If you read between the lines
ABE
Tou?ll know that I?m just trying to understand
AE
The feelings that you lack
AE
I never thought I could feel this way
AB
and I?ve got to say that I just don?t get it
AE
I don't know where we went wrong,
ABE
But the feeling's gone, and I just can't get it back.
