Gordon Lightfoot - If you could read my mind

^GIf you could read my mind love ^FWhat a tale my thoughts could tell ^GJust like an old time movie ^F'bout a ghost from a wishin' well ^GIn a castle ^G7dark or a ^Cfortress strong With ^Dchains upon my f^Emeet You ^Cknow that ghost is ^Gme And ^CI will never ^Gbe set free As ^Am7long as I m a ^Dghost that you can t ^Gsee

^GIf I could read your mind love ^FWhat a tale your thoughts could tell ^GJust like a paperback novel ^FThe kind that drugstores sell ^GWhen you reach the ^G7part where the ^Cheartaches come The ^Dhero would be m^Eme But ^Cheroes often ^Gfail And ^Cyou won't read that ^Gbook again Bec^Am7ause the ending's ^Djust too hard to ta^Gke

^GI d walk a^G7way like a ^Cmovie star Who gets ^Dburned in a three way ^Emscript ^CEnter number ^Gtwo A ^Cmovie queen to ^Gplay the scene Of ^Am7bringing all the ^Dgood things out in ^Gme ^CBut for now love, let's be ^Greal I ^Cnever thought I could ^Gact this way ^Am7And I've got to say that I ^Djust don't get it ^CI don't know where ^Gwe went wrong But the ^Am7feelin's gone And I ^Djust can't get it ^Gback

^GIf you could read my mind love ^FWhat a tale my thoughts could tell ^GJust like an old time movie ^F'bout a ghost from a wishin' well ^GIn a castle ^G7dark or a ^Cfortress strong With ^Dchains upon my ^Emfeet But ^Cstories always ^Gend And ^Cif you read be^Gtween the lines You'll ^Am7know that I'm just ^Dtryin' to under^Gstand The ^Cfeelin's that you ^Glack I ^Cnever thought I could ^Gfeel this way And I've ^Am7got to say that I ^Djust don't get it ^CI don't know where ^Gwe went wrong But the ^Am7feelin's gone And I ^Djust can't get it ^Gback
