Can you tell me what you are thinking about?

"Can you tell" = is the right word order for your question.

"What you are thinking about" is not the question. It's the object. It follows normal word order.

I have to think if you used a comma after (what) it would be written correctly but because there is no comma, I will chose the first sentence as being correct.
