Johnny Cash - If you could read my mind

^EIf you could read my mind, love ^Dadd9What a tale my thoughts could tell ^EJust like an old time movie ^Dadd9'bout a ghost from a wishing-well ^EIn a castle dark or a fortress^A strong ^BWith chains upon my feet ^{C#m A}You know that ghost is me ^{E A}And I will never be se^C#mt free ^FmAs long as I'm a ghost^A you can't see ^E

^EIf I could read your mind, love ^Dadd9What a tale your thoughts could tell ^EJust like a paperback novel ^Dadd9The kind that drugstores sell ^EWhen you reach the part where the heartaches come ^{A B}The hero would be me ^{C#m A}And heroes often fail ^{E A}And you won't read that book again ^{C#m Fm}Because the ending's just too^B hard to take ^E

^EI'd walk away like a movie sta^Ar Who gets burned ^Bin a three way script ^{C#m A}And enter number two ^{E A}A movie queen to play the ^C#mscene ^FmOf bringing all the good ^Bthings out in me ^A But for now, love, let's be real ^{E A}I never thought I could act this wa^C#my ^FmAnd I've got to say that I just don'^Bt get it ^AI don't know where we went wr^C#mong ^FmBut the feeling's gone ^BAnd I just can't get it back ^E
