IF YOU COULD READ MY MIND

-Gordon Lightfoot

4/4 1...2...1234

Intro:

Gadd9

If you could read my mind, love, what a tale my thoughts could tell

Just like an old-time movie,

'bout a ghost from a wishin' well

In a castle dark or a fortress strong, with chains upon my feet, you know that ghost is me

Bm7

Am7

G Gadd9

And I will never be set free, as long as I'm a ghost that you can't see

If I could read your mind, love,

what a tale your thoughts could tell

Just like a paperback novel.

the kind the drugstores sell

When you reach the part where the heartaches come, the hero would be me, but heroes often fail

Bm7

Am7

And you won't read that book again, be-cause the ending's just too hard to take

Instrumental: Gadd9 G F FMA7 F G Gadd9 G F FMA7 F

I'd walk a-way like a movie star who gets burned in a three-way script, enter number two

Bm7

Am7

A movie queen to play the scene of bringing all the good things out in me

But for now love, let's be real

Bm7

Am7

I never thought I could act this way, and I've got to say that I just don't get it

Bm7

Am7

G Gadd9 G Gadd9

I don't know where we went wrong, but the feeling's gone and I just can't get it back

If you could read my mind, love, what a tale my thoughts could tell

Just like an old-time movie,

'bout a ghost from a wishin' well

In a castle dark or a fortress strong, with chains upon my feet, but stories always end

Bm7

Am7

And if you read be-tween the lines, you'll know that I'm just tryin' to under-stand

The feelings that you lack

Bm7

Am7

I never thought I could feel this way, and I've got to say that I just don't get it

Bm7

Am7

I don't know where we went wrong, but the feeling's gone and I just can't get it back

Instrumental outro: Gadd9 G F FMA7 F G
