Gordon Lightfoot – If You Could Read My Mind Chords

If you could read my mind love, what a tale my thoughts could tell
Just like an old time movie, about a ghost from a wishing well
In a castle dark or a fortress strong
With chains upon my feet you know that ghost is me
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 that drugstores sell
When you reach the part where the heartaches come
The hero would be me but heroes often fail
And you won’t read that book again
because the ending’s just too hard to take

7 I’d walk away like a movie star,
who gets burned in a three way script
Enter number two: a movie queen to play the scene
Of bringing all the good things out in me,
but for now love, let’s be real

I never thought I could act this way,
and I’ve got to say that I just don’t get it
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, about a ghost from a wishing well
In a castle dark or a fortress strong with chains upon my feet
But stories always end. And if you read between the lines
You’ll know that I’m just trying to understand
the feelings that you lack

I never thought I could feel this way,
and I’ve got to say that I just don’t get it
I don’t know where we went wrong but the feeling’s gone
And I just can’t get it back
