GM7/B D GM7/B D
A7sus4
I've slumped in your chair
D
Tossed and turned in your bed
A7sus4
Lurked in your lair
D
I have lived in your head
G
Where others were closer
D
No one is nearer
G
As I glimpse you in me
A7sus4
In the hallway mirror
A7sus4
I've grabbed from the plate
D
And I've stabbed with a knife
A7sus4
On day one, my first date
D
I slept with your wife
G
My common-law stepmom
D
I desire and fear her
G
I compare you to me
A7sus4
In the full-length mirror
A7sus4
Sharing hair, forehead lines
D
Scowling, worrying, thinking
A7sus4
With a penchant for white wines
D
A disposal toward drinking
G
You had 'em, I got 'em
D
I move my face nearer
G
Broken blood vessels
A7sus4
In the bathroom mirror
A7sus4
And your doormen all know me
D
It's not so bizarre
A7sus4
So it shouldn't throw me
D
To go move your car
G
But the ghost of your father
D
He couldn't be clearer
G
He's there where he haunted you
A7sus4
The rearview mirror
