v.1
^GI've been lost inside, empty space in my ^Emheart
And some ^Cthings never change, oh
^GNow you've hurt me and now it's tearin' me a^Empart
An it ^Cjust goes on an on
Can you ^Emread my mind? Take a ^Cgood look at my ^Dface
Could you ^Emtake some time just to ^Cstand here in my ^Bplace

Chorus:
^GWhat if I'd been the ^Done to say good^Ambye, good^Dbye
^GCould you smile when in^Dside you just wanna ^Ccry, look in^Dside
Can you ^Emread my mind? ^COh -- ^Dwoh

v.2
^GWhen I hear your name feel so cold deep in^Emside
Still it's ^Chard to explain
^GWhat your love meant to me, they say time will heal the ^Empain
But it ^Cjust goes on forever
Can you ^Emread my mind? Have you ^Cclosed the door on ^Dlove?
Can you ^Embe so blind did you ^Cthink I'd just give ^Bup
