If You Could Read My Mind
Gordon Lightfood / Gordon Lightfood: Sit Down Young Stranger (1970)
| G | F |
| If you could read my mind love - | What a tale my thoughts could tell! |
| G | F |
| Just like an old time movie - | 'bout a ghost from a wishin' well! |
| G | Em | C | D | Em | C | G |
| In a castle | dark or a | fortress strong - With | chains upon my | feet - You | know that ghost is | me; |
| C | G/B | Am7 | D | G | | Fmaj7 | | G |
And | I will never | be set free - As | long as I'm a | ghost that you can't | see. | | | | |
| G | F |
| If I could read your mind love - | What a tale your thoughts could tell? |
| G | F |
| Just like a paperback novel - | The kind that drugstores sell. |
| G | Em | C | D | Em | C | G |
| When you reach the | part where the | heartaches come, The | hero would be | me. But | heroes often | fail! |
| C | G/B | Am7 | D | G | | Fmaj7 | | G |
And | you won't read that | book again - Be | cause the ending's | just too hard to | take. | | | | |
| G | Em | C | D | Em |
| I'd walk a | way like a | movie star - Who get's | burned in a three way | script. |
| C | G | C | G/B |
| Enter number | two - A | movie queen to | play the scene |
| Am7 | D | G | C | G/B |
Of | bringing all the | good things out in | me! But for | now love, let's be | real; |
| C | G/B | Am7 | D |
I | never thought I could | act this way - And I've | got to say that I | just don't get it; |
| C | G/B | Am7 | D | G |
| I don't know where | we went wrong - But the | feeling's gone - And I | just can't get it | back. |
| G | F |

| In a castle | dark or a | fortress strong - With | chains upon my | feet. But | stories always | end, |
| C | G/B | Am7 | D | G |
And | if you read | between the lines - You'll | know that I'm just | tryin' to under | stand: |
| C | G/B | C | G/B |
The | feelin's that you | lack. I | never thought I could | feel this way, |
| Am7 | D | C | G/B |
And I've | got to say that I | just don't get it - | I don't know where | we went wrong, |
| Am7 | D | G | | Fmaj7 | | G |
| But the feelin's gone - And I | just can't get it | back. | | | | |
