If You Could Read My Mind
Album: American V: A Hundred Highways
Artist: Johnny Cash
intro A
(Verse 1)
AIf you could read my mind, love
GWhat a tale my thoughts could tell
AJust like an old time movie
G'bout a ghost from a wishing-well
AIn a caDstle dark or a fortress strong
EWith chains upoF#mn my feet
You Dknow thAat ghost is me
AnDd I wF#mill never be set free
As Bm7long as IE'm a ghost you Acan't see
(Verse 2)
AIf I could read your mind, love
GWhat a tale your thoughts could tell
AJust like a paperback novel
GThe kind that drugstores sell
AWhen you reaDch the part where the heartaches come
The Ehero wouF#mld be me
AnDd heroeAs often fail
AAnd youF#m won't read that book again
Bm7Because tEhe enAding's just too hard to take
(Middle section)
A G A G
AI'd walDk away like a movie star
Who F#mgets burnDed in a three way script
And Eenter Anumber two
A Dmovie qF#mueen to play the scene
Bm7Of bringinEg all tAhe good things out in me
But Dfor nowA, love, let's be real
I Dnever thoF#mught I could act this way
AnBm7d I've goEt to say that I just don't get it
I Ddon't knF#mow where we went wrong
BuBm7t the feeling's gone
AnEd I jusAt can't get it back

AIf you could read my mind, love,
GWhat a tale my thoughts could tell
AJust like an old time movie
G'bout a ghost from a wishing-well
AIn a caDstle dark or a fortress strong
EWith chaF#mins upon my feet
The Dstory always Aends
AnDd if youF#m read between the lines
YoBm7u'll know Ethat AI'm just trying to understand
TheD feeling tAhat you lack
I Dnever thouF#mght I could feel this way
And I've Bm7got to say Ethat I just don't get it
ID don't knF#mow where we went wrong
BuBm7t the feeling's gone
AnEd I just can't get it back
A G end on A
