F
What a tale my thoughts could tell
G
🎸
Accuracy Rating: - Votes: -
Just like an old time movie
F
'bout a ghost from a wishin' well
G     G7    C
In a castle dark or a fortress strong
   D        Em
With chains upon my feet
  C       G
You know that ghost is me
  C      G
And I will never be set free
  Am7      D         G
As long as I'm a ghost that you can't see

G
If I could read your mind love
F
What a tale your thoughts could tell
G
Just like a paperback novel
F
The kind that drugstores sell
G        G7       C
When you reach the part where the heartaches come
  D     Em
The hero would be me
  C      G
But heroes often fail
  C          G
And you won't read that book again
  Am7        D        G
Because the ending's just too hard to take

G F G F

G    G7    C
I'd walk away like a movie star
    D         Em
Who gets burned in a three way script
C      G
Enter number two
 C       G
A movie queen to play the scene
  Am7       D        G
Of bringing all the good things out in me
C             G
But for now love, let's be real
 C           G
I never thought I could act this way

Am7            D
And I've got to say that I just don't get it
C         G
I don't know where we went wrong
    Am7
But the feelin's gone
   D         G
And I just can't get it back

G
If you could read my mind love
F
What a tale my thoughts could tell
G
Just like an old time movie
F
'bout a ghost from a wishin' well
G      G7    C
In a castle dark or a fortress strong
   D       Em
With chains upon my feet
  C       G
But stories always end
  C       G
And if you read between the lines
    Am7        D       G
You'll know that I'm just tryin' to understand
  C         G
The feelin's that you lack
 C           G
I never thought I could feel this way
     Am7        D
And I've got to say that I just don't get it
C         G
I don't know where we went wrong
Am7
But the feelin's gone
   D         G
And I just can't get it back
