Intro:

(A baritone chordA) (Aadd9 baritone chordAadd9) (A baritone chordA)


(A baritone chordA)
If you could read my mind, love
(Gsus2 baritone chordGsus2) (Dadd4 baritone chordDadd4) (A7sus4 baritone chordA7sus4)
What a tale that my thoughts could tell
(A baritone chordA)
Just like an old time movie
(Gsus2 baritone chordGsus2) (Dadd4 baritone chordDadd4) (A7sus4 baritone chordA7sus4)
'Bout a ghost from a wishing well


(A baritone chordA) (A7 baritone chordA7) (D baritone chordD)
In a castle dark or a fortress strong
(E7 baritone chordE7) (F#m baritone chordF#m)
With chains upon my feet
(D baritone chordD) (A baritone chordA)
You know that ghost is me


(D baritone chordD) (Amaj7 baritone chordAmaj7) (A baritone chordA)
And I will never be set free
(Asus7 baritone chordAsus7) (E7 baritone chordE7) (A baritone chordA) (Aadd9 baritone chordAadd9)
As long as I'm a ghost, you can't see



(A baritone chordA)
If I could read your mind, love
(Gsus2 baritone chordGsus2) (Dadd4 baritone chordDadd4) (A7sus4 baritone chordA7sus4)
What a tale that your thoughts could tell

(A baritone chordA)
Just like a paperback novel
(Gsus2 baritone chordGsus2) (Dadd4 baritone chordDadd4) (A7sus4 baritone chordA7sus4)
The kind the drugstore sells



A baritone chordA) (A7 baritone chordA7) (D baritone chordD)
When you reach the part where the heartaches come
(E7 baritone chordE7) (F#m baritone chordF#m)
The hero would be me
(D baritone chordD) (A baritone chordA)
But heroes often fail



(D baritone chordD) (Amaj7 baritone chordAmaj7) (A baritone chordA)
And you won't read that book again
(Asus7 baritone chordAsus7) (E7 baritone chordE7) (A baritone chordA)
Because the ending's just too hard to take


(A baritone chordA) (Aadd9 baritone chordAadd9) (A baritone chordA) (Gsus2 baritone chordGsus2) (Dadd4 baritone chordDadd4) (A7sus4 baritone chordA7sus4)
(A baritone chordA) (Aadd9 baritone chordAadd9) (A baritone chordA) (Gsus2 baritone chordGsus2) (Dadd4 baritone chordDadd4) (A7sus4 baritone chordA7sus4)


(A baritone chordA) (A7 baritone chordA7) (D baritone chordD)
I'd walk away like a movie star
(E7 baritone chordE7) (F#m baritone chordF#m)
Who gets burned in a three way script
(D baritone chordD) (A baritone chordA)
Enter number two,


(D baritone chordD) (Amaj7 baritone chordAmaj7) (A baritone chordA)
a movie queen to play the scene
(Asus7 baritone chordAsus7) (E7 baritone chordE7) (F#m baritone chordF#m)
Of bringing all the good things out in me
(D baritone chordD) (A baritone chordA)
But for now, love, let's be real

(D baritone chordD) (Amaj7 baritone chordAmaj7) (A baritone chordA)
I never thought I could act this way
(Asus7 baritone chordAsus7) (E7 baritone chordE7)
And I've got to say that I just don't get it

(D baritone chordD) (Amaj7 baritone chordAmaj7) (A baritone chordA)
I don't know where we went wrong
(Asus4 baritone chordAsus4) (E7 baritone chordE7) (A baritone chordA) (Aadd9 baritone chordAadd9) (A baritone chordA) (Aadd9 baritone chordAadd9)
But the feeling's gone and I just can't get it back

(A baritone chordA)
If you could read my mind, love
(Gsus2 baritone chordGsus2) (Dadd4 baritone chordDadd4) (A7sus4 baritone chordA7sus4)
What a tale that my thoughts could tell
(A baritone chordA)
Just like an old time movie
(Gsus2 baritone chordGsus2) (Dadd4 baritone chordDadd4) (A7sus4 baritone chordA7sus4)
'Bout a ghost from a wishing well

(A baritone chordA) (A7 baritone chordA7) (D baritone chordD)
In a castle dark or a fortress strong
(E7 baritone chordE7) (F#m baritone chordF#m)
With chains upon my feet
(D baritone chordD) (A baritone chordA)
But stories always end
(D baritone chordD) (Amaj7 baritone chordAmaj7) (A baritone chordA)
And if you read between the lines
(Asus4 baritone chordAsus4) (E7 baritone chordE7) (F#m baritone chordF#m)
You'll know that I'm just trying to understand

(D baritone chordD) (A baritone chordA)
The feelings that you lack

(D baritone chordD) (Amaj7 baritone chordAmaj7) (A baritone chordA)
I never thought I could feel this way
(Asus4 baritone chordAsus4) (E7 baritone chordE7)
And I've got to say that I just don't get it

(D baritone chordD) (Amaj7 baritone chordAmaj7) (A baritone chordA)
I don't know where we went wrong
(Asus4 baritone chordAsus4)
But the feeling's gone
(E7 baritone chordE7) (A baritone chordA) (Aadd9 baritone chordAadd9) (A baritone chordA) (Gsus2 baritone chordGsus2) (Dadd4 baritone chordDadd4) (Asus4 baritone chordAsus4) (A baritone chordA)
And I just can't get it back
