    • Verse 1
    If 
    you 
    could 
    read 
    my 
    mind, 
    love, 

    what 
    a 
    tale 
    my 
    thoughts 
    could 
    tell 

    Just 
    like 
    an 
    old 
    time 
    movie 
    about 

    a 
    ghost 
    from 
    a 
    wishing 
    well 

    In 
    a 
    castle 
    dark 
    or 
    a 
    fort
    ress 
    strong 

    with 
    chain
    s 
    upon 
    my 
    feet 

    You 
    know 
    that 
    ghost 
    is 
    me 

    And 
    I 
    won't 
    ever 
    be 
    set 
    free 

    As 
    long 
    as 
    I'm 
    a 
    ghost 

    that 
    you 
    can
    't 
    see 

    If 
    I 
    could 
    read 
    your 
    mind, 
    love, 
    what 
    a 
    tale 
    your 
    thoughts 
    could 
    tell, 

    just 
    like 
    a 
    paper 
    -back 
    novel, 
    a 
    kind 
    the 
    drugstore 
    sells. 

    When 
    you 
    reach 
    the 
    path 

    where 
    the 
    heartaches 
    come 

    The 
    hero 
    would 
    be 
    me, 

    but 
    heroes 
    often 
    fail 

    And 
    you 
    won't 
    read 
    that 
    book 
    again 
    because 
    the 

    ending 
    is 
    just 
    too 
    hard 
    to 
    tell 


    I 
    walk 
    away 
    like 
    a 
    movie 
    star 

    Who 
    gets 
    burned 
    in 
    a 
    three 
    -way 
    script 

    In 
    turn 
    number 
    two, 
    a 
    movie 
    queen 

    To 
    play 
    the 
    scene 
    of 
    bringing 
    all 
    the 
    good 

    thing
    s out 
    in 
    me 

    But 
    for 
    now, 
    love, 

    let's 
    be 
    real 
    I 
    never 
    thought 
    I 
    could 
    act 
    this 
    way 

    And 
    I've 
    got 
    to 
    say 
    that 
    I 

    just 
    don't 
    get 
    it 

    I 
    don't 
    know 
    where 
    we 
    went 
    wrong 

    But 
    the 
    feeling's 
    gone 

    And 
    I 
    just 
    can't 
    get 
    it 
    back 

    If 
    you 
    could 
    read 
    my 
    mind, 
    love 

    What 
    a 
    tale 
    my 
    thoughts 
    could 
    tell 

    Just 
    like 
    an 
    old 
    time 
    movie 

    About 
    a 
    ghost 
    from 
    a 
    wishing 
    well 

    In 
    a 
    castle 
    dark 

    Or 
    a 
    fort
    ress 
    strong 

    With 
    chains 
    upon 
    my 
    feet 

    Stor
    ies 
    always 
    end 

    And 
    if 
    you 
    read 
    between 
    the 
    lines, 

    you'll 
    know 
    that 
    I'm 
    just 
    try
    ing 
    to 
    under
    stand 
    the 
    feelings 
    that 
    you've 
    got 

    I 
    nev
    er 
    thought 
    I 
    could feel 
    this 
    way, 

    and 
    I've 
    got 
    to 
    say 
    that 
    I 
    just 
    don't 
    get 
    it 

    I 
    don't 
    know 
    where 
    we 
    went 
    wrong, 

    but 
    the 
    feeling's 
    gone, 
    and 
    I 
    just 
    can't 
    get 
    it 
    back

      Best Tuning App Ever

      MaddProfessor

      "

      I’ve downloaded many tuning apps before and this one is by far the best. Easy to use, super user-friendly, and they have a bunch of fun different chords and songs to help you learn new music. I highly recommend.

      Well-Designed App

      I mostly use this for tuning my guitar, which this app makes ridiculously easy. It also has a large selection of songs to play along to and it helps show you which chords to play as well how to make the shapes with your fingers.

      Got me back into playing

      "

      I got this app to tune an old guitar, and noticed it has a feature that autoscrolls as I play chords to famous songs. For some reason, this was a lot more motivating for me than any other way of practicing guitar. Now I'm actually practicing and remembering the names of chords 🙂

      Not only is it a tuner (best app tuner I've used personally) but it also has a metronome, games, chords, and a plethora of instruments to choose from and it's SUPER easy to navigate. I love it! Thanks for making an awesome app. From one musician to another, THANKS!!!

      This is a great app! Very easy to use and very reliable, if you are just starting out, you can take a big worry off your mind, by getting in tune quickly and easily with this app. Highly recommended!

      This is the best guitar tuner ever.

      It tunes your guitar accurately so you can get the best sound. I like all the other little games as well because they teach you how to play different chords and you can learn to identify the chords by listening to them and it is all offline.
