If You Could Read My Mind Lyrics And

**Chords:**
C  G  Am  F  
C  G  C

C                  G  
If you could read my mind, love  
Am                  F  
What a tale my thoughts could tell  
C                        G  
Just like an old time movie  
Am                  F  
'Bout a ghost from a wishing well

C                     G  
In a castle dark or a fortress strong  
Am                  F  
With chains upon my feet  
C                      G  
You know that ghost is me

Am                     F  
And I will never be set free  
C                  G  
As long as I'm a ghost that you can't see

C                  G  
If I could read your mind, love  
Am                      F  
What a tale your thoughts could tell  
C                        G  
Just like a paperback novel  
Am                      F  
The kind the drugstores sell

C                      G  
When you reach the part where the heartaches come  
Am                  F  
The hero would be me  
C                   G  
But heroes often fail

Am                     F  
And you won't read that book again  
C                     G  
Because the ending's just too hard to take
