Johnny Cash - If you could read my mind

^EIf you could read my mind, love ^DWhat a tale my thoughts could tell ^EJust like an old time movie ^D'bout a ghost from a wishing-well ^EIn a cast^Ale dark or a fortress strong ^BWith chai^C#mns around my feet ^AYou know ^Ethat ghost is me ^AAnd I wil^C#ml never be set free ^F#m7As long a^Bs ^Ethere's a ghost that you can't see

^EIf I could read your mind, love ^DWhat a tale your thoughts would tell ^EJust like a paperback novel ^DThe kind that drugstores sell ^EWhen you ^Areach the part where the heartaches come ^BThe hero ^C#mwould be me ^ABut heroe^Es often fail ^EAnd you w^C#mon't read that book again ^F#m7Because t^Bhe endi^Eng's just too hard to take

^EI'd walk ^Aaway like a movie star ^C#mWho gets ^Aburned in a three way script ^BEnter num^Eber two ^AA movie q^C#mueen to play the scene ^F#m7Of bringi^Bng all ^Ethe good things out in me ^ABut for n^Eow, love, let's be real ^AI never t^C#mhought I could act this way ^F#m7And I've ^Bgot to say that I just don't get it ^AI don't k^C#mnow where we went wrong ^F#m7But the feeling's gone ^BAnd I jus^Et can't get it back

^EIf you could read my mind, love, ^DWhat a tale my thoughts could tell ^EJust like an old time movie ^D'bout a ghost from a wishing-well ^EIn a cast^Ale dark or a fortress strong ^BWith chai^C#mns from my feet ^ATh^Ee stories always end

^AAnd if yo^C#mu read between the lines ^F#m7You&#^B146;ll ^Eknow that I’m just trying to understand ^AThe feeli^Angs that you lack ^AI never t^C#mhought I could feel this way ^F#m7And I've ^Bgot to say that I just don't get it ^AI don't k^C#mnow where we went wrong ^F#m7But the feeling's gone ^BAnd I just can't get it back
