(Richie Cordell)

A D E A
/ / / / / / / / / / / / / / / /
Verse 1:
A D E
I see you standing in the alleys and the hallways (wait a second!)
A
You're gone now
A D E
I run to touch you but you vanish through the doorways
A
And oh how
E
Hard it is to live without you, I loved everything about you
G
Now I know you're really gone, but my imagination
A
Is so strong
Pre-chorus:
[ Tab from: https://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/j/james_tommy/mirage_crd.html ]
C#m
[1: That 2: Then] I see you comin' into view
A C#m
And your face is tellin' me
F#m E
Oh, yeah, oh, want to be by my side
F#m E
Oh, yeah, oh, now it finally died [1: (wait a second!)
2: (here it comes again!)]
Chorus:
A D E
Mirage, that's all you are to me
A D Bm E
Mirage, something I only see
Verse 2:
So I keep walking through the alleys and the hallways
Where are you
I keep remembering the kissing in the doorways
The car, too
How it all comes back to me, the movies every Saturday
The place we used to go to eat, I want so much to have it
Like it used to be
[repeat pre-chorus]
[repeat chorus]
2-bar break (backward cymbals)
Coda [repeat to fade; LP mix omits backing vocals]:
A D E A
Just a mirage, (just a mirage) that's all you are to me
A D E A
Just a mirage, (just a mirage) something that I only see
