Title: My Mirror Speaks
Intro: C#m E A E x2
///////////////////////////////////////////////////
Verse 1:
C#m A E
With every sun that sets I am feeling more
A E B
Like a stranger on a foreign shore
C#m A B A E
With an eroding beach disappearing from under me
C#m A E
And when my mirror speaks it never minces words
A E B
That these eyes don't shine half as bright
C#m A E A E
As they used to do and they haven't for quite a while
//////////////////////////////////////////////////
Chorus:
A E
'Cause I'm a man who hides from all that binds
A E
In a mess of fading lines
A E
And there's a tangled thread inside my head
G#m A
With nothing on either end
//////////////////////////////////////////////////
Verse 2:
C#m A E
I always fall in love with an open door
A E B
Or the horizon on an endless sea
C#m A E A E
As I look around the ones who are standing right in front of me
C#m A E
And then my mirror speaks with irreverence
A E B
Like a soldier I can't command
C#m A E A E
It sees the frightened child in the body of a full-grown man

There's nothing on either end

There is two ways you can play the bridge. I like option 1:
///////////////////////////////////////////////
Option 1:
B B/A B/G# B/C#
A new position for a different view
B B/A B/G# B/C#
But nothing changes but the slightest hues
B B/A B/G# B/C# B
When I am standing face to face
///////////////////////////////////////////////
Option 2:
B A G# C#m
A new position for a different view
B A G# C#m
But nothing changes but the slightest hues
B A G# C#m B
When I am standing face to face

A E
With a man who hides from all that binds
A E
And a mess of fading lines
A E
And there's a tangled thread inside his head
G#m A
With nothing on either end
///////////////////////////////////////////////
A E
I'm a man who hides from all that binds
A E
And a mess of fading lines
A E
And there's a tangled thread inside my head
G#m A
With nothing on either end

C#m A E
No there's nothing on the ends
End on E.
