If yAou could read my mind loveGsus2
What a Dadd4tale my tA7sus4houghts could tellA
AJust like an old time movieGsus2
'Bout a gDadd4host from a A7sus4wishin' well A
AIn a castle dA7ark or a foDrtress strong
With cE7hains upon my fF#meet
You Dknow that ghost is Ame
And DI will neverAmaj7 be set fAree
As lAsus4ong as I'm a gE7host that you can't sAee Aadd9 A

IAf I could read your mind loveGsus2
What a Dadd4tale your tA7sus4houghts could tell A
JuAst like a paperback novelGsus2
The kindDadd4 that drugstoA7sus4res sell A
AWhen you reach the A7part where the heaDrtaches come
The E7hero would beF#m me
But Dheroes often Afail
And Dyou won't read thatAmaj7 book agaAin
BAsus4ecause the ending'sE7 just too hard to taAke
