Intro -x2-: Db  Bbm7  Ab  Ab

Verse:
Db                  Bbm7
  On the corner of main street
Ab                           Ab
  Just tryin' to keep it in line
Db                        Bbm7
  You say you wanna move on and
Ab                       Ab
  You say I'm falling behind
                   Db  Bbm7  Ab  Ab
Can you read my mind?
                   Db  Bbm7  Ab  Ab
Can you read my mind?

Verse:
Db                     Bbm7
  I never really gave up on
Ab                      Ab
  Breakin' out of this two-star town
Db                       Bbm7
  I got the green light, I got a little fight
Ab                            Ab
  I'm gonna turn this thing around
                   Db  Bbm7  Ab  Ab
Can you read my mind?

Can you read my mind?

Chorus:
             Gb                Db
The good old days, the honest man
             Ab                   Ab
The restless heart, the promised land
         Gb                Db
a subtle kiss that no one sees
         Ab                    Ab
a broken wrist and a big trapeze
                Gb                  Db
Oh well I don't mind, if you don't mind
            Ab        -xF7-x      Bbm
Coz I don't shine if you don't shine
           Gb  -2x-             Ab -2x-
Before you go, can you read my mind?

Verse:
Db                         Bbm7
  It’s funny how you just break down
Ab                 Ab
  Waitin' on some sign
         Db                       Bbm7
  I pull up to the front of your driveway
Ab                       Ab
  With magic soakin' my spine
                   Db  Bbm7  Ab  Ab
Can you read my mind?
                   Db  Bbm7  Ab  Ab
Can you read my mind?

Chorus:
            Gb                 Db
The teenage queen, the loaded gun
              Ab                 Ab
The drop dead dream, the chosen one
           Gb                Db
a southern drawl, a world unseen
       Ab                Ab
a city wall and a trampoline
                Gb                  Db
Oh well I don't mind, if you don't mind
              Ab        F7        Bbm
Cause I don't shine if you don't shine
           Gb     Gb 
Before you jump,    tell me what you 
Ab    Ab
find    when you read my mind

Solo:
    Bbm  Ab  Gb  Db 
    Bbm  Ab  Gb  Gb
    Ab   Ab    

Chorus:
Ab                 Gb             Db
   Slippin’ in my faith until I fall
           Ab
He never returned that call
Ab                  Gb                  Db
   Woman, open the door, don't let it sting
                     Ab           Ab
I wanna breathe that fire again,   she said
        Bbm                 Ab
I don't mind, if you don't mind
              Gb                  Db
Cause I don't shine if you don't shine
                    Bbm
Put your back on me
                    Ab
Put your back on me
                    Gb -2x-     
Put your back on me

Db                            Bbm7            Ab              Ab
  The stars are blazing like rebel diamonds cut out of the sun
                 Db   Bbm7  Ab  Ab
When you read my mind
                 Db   Bbm7  Ab  Ab
