D#  D#/B  A#sus4  A#  (X2)


D#                           D#/B
  On the corner of main street
A#sus4                            A#
  Just tryin' to keep it in line
D#                               D#/B
  You say you wanna move on and
A#sus4                      A#
  You say I'm falling behind
                                 D#     D#/B    A#sus4    A#
Can you read my mind?
                                 D#     D#/B    A#sus4    A#
Can you read my mind?


D#                             D#/B
  I never really gave up on
A#sus4                       A#
  Breakin' out of this two-star town
D#                                  D#/B
  I got the green light, I got a little flight
A#sus4                                A#
  I'm gonna turn this thing around
                                 D#     D#/B     A#sus4    A#
Can you read my mind?

Chorus:
                      F#                        C#
The good old days, the honest man;
                   G#
The restless heart, the Promised Land
              F#                       C#
A# subtle kiss that no one sees;
               G#
A# broken wrist and a big trapeze
                       F#                           C#
Oh well I don't mind, if you don't mind
                  G#         F7             A#m
Coz I don't shine if you don't shine
                  F#                              G#
Before you go, can you read my mind?


D#                                      D#/B
  It's funny how you just break down
A#sus4                   A#
  Waitin' on some sign
         D#                                    D#/B
  I pull up to the front of your driveway
A#sus4                             A#
  With magic soakin' my spine
                                 D#      D#/B     A#sus4     A#
Can you read my mind?
                                 D#      D#/B     A#sus4     A#
Can you read my mind?


Chorus:
                     F#                          C#
The teenage queen, the loaded gun;
                       G#
The drop dead dream, the chosen one
                   F#                    C#
A# southern drawl, a world unseen,
          G#
A# city wall and a trampoline
                        F#                          C#
Oh well I don't mind, if you don't mind
                     G#          F7            A#m
Cause I don't shine if you don't shine
                  F#
Before you jump
                           G#                                  A#m
Tell me what you find when you read my mind

Chorus:
                        F#               C#
Slippin' in my faith until I fall
               G#
He never returned that call
                             F#                       C#
Woman, open the door, don't let it sting
                                 G#
I wanna breathe that fire again, she said
            A#m                      G#
I don't mind, if you don't mind
                      F#                          C#
Cause I don't shine if you don't shine
                           A#m
Put your back on me
                            G#
Put your back on me
                            F#        
Put your back on me

  The stars are blazing like rebel diamonds cut out of the sun
                                   D#         D#/B         A#sus4          A#
