Song: | Done in Second Position and removed the bends. 7 -7 7 -8 7 6 7 If you could read my mind love -7 -7 -7 -7 -7 6 6 What a tale my thoughts would tell 7 -7 7 -8 7 6 7 Just like an old time mov-ie -7 -7 -7 -7 -7 -7 6 6 'Bout a ghost from a wish-ing well 6 6 6 -7 -7 6 -7 -8 7 7 In a cas-tle dark or a for-tress strong -8 8 -8 7 -8 7 With chains up-on my feet 7 -7 -7 -7 6 6 You know that ghost is me 6 -7 7 7 7 -7 7 7 And I will nev-er be set free, 7 -7 7 7 -8 8 -8 7 -8 7 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 pap-er-back nov-el The kind the drug-store sells Then you reached the part Where the heart-aches come The he-ro would be me. But he-ros of-ten fail And you won’t read the book a-gain Be-cause the end-ing just to hard to take
6 6 -7 -7 -7 -7 -8 7 7 I’d walk a-way, like a mov-ie star -8 -8 8 -8 -8 7 -8 7 Who gets burned in a three-way script -7 -7 -7 6 6 6 -7 7 7 En-ter num-ber two: a mov-ie queen 7 -7 7 7 7 -7 7 7 To play the scene of bring-ing all -8 8 -8 7 -8 7 The good things out of me 7 7 -7 -7 -7 6 6 But for now love, let’s be real 6 -7 7 7 7 7 -7 7 7 I nev-er thought I could act this way 7 7 -7 7 7 And I’ve got to say 7 -8 8 -8 7 -8 that I just don’t get it -7 7 7 7 -7 7 7 I don't know where we went wrong 7 7 -7 7 7 But the feel-ing's gone 7 -8 8 -8 7 -8 7 and I just can't get it back
7 -7 7 -8 7 6 7 If you could read my mind love -7 -7 -7 -7 -7 6 6 What a tale my thoughts would tell 7 -7 7 -8 7 6 7 Just like an old time mov-ie -7 -7 -7 -7 -7 -7 6 6 'Bout a ghost from a wish-ing well 6 6 6 -7 -7 -7 -7 -8 7 7 In a cas-tle dark or a for-tress strong -8 8 -8 7 -8 7 With chains up-on my feet 7 -7 -7 -7 6 6 But stor-ies al-ways end
6 -7 7 7 7 -7 7 7 And if you read be-tween the lines 7 -7 7 7 -8 8 You’d know that I'm just try’n -8 7 -8 7 To un-der-stand 7 -7 -7 -7 6 6 The feel-ings that you lack. 6 -7 7 7 7 7 -7 7 7 I nev-er thought I could feel this way 7 7 -7 7 7 And I’ve got to say 7 -8 8 -8 7 -8 That I just don’t get it. -7 7 7 7 -7 7 7 I don’t know where we went wrong 7 7 -7 7 7 But the feel-ings gone, 7 -8 8 -8 7 -8 7 And I just can’t get it back |
