Mirror Images

    Dm      A         Dm          A
If I'm the mirror and you're the image
     Dm         G         Dm       A
then what's the secret between the two,
       Dm        A          Dm             G
these 'me's and 'you's, how many can there be?
    C                 G
Oh, I don't mind all that around the place,
   C             F                   Esus4   E
as long as you keep it well away from me.

   Dm           A         Dm       A
I've begun to regret that we ever met
   Dm         G         Dm A
between the dimensions.
   Dm             A         Dm             G
It gets such a strain to pretend that the change
   C              G
is anything but cheap...
          C       G             C         F
with your infant pique and your angst pretensions
                         Esus4
sometimes you act like a creep.

    Am                                                      G
And now I'm standing in the corner, looking at the room and the furniture
Dm                F                   Esus4
in cheap imitation of alienation and grief.
    Am                                                          G
And now we're going to the kitchen, fix ourselves a drink and a cigarette,
Dm                F                        Esus4        E
getting no closer to being the joker or thief.

Dm           A          Dm       A
Still, I reflect, this nervous wreck
 Dm           G       Dm         A
who stands before me can see as well,
    Dm       A        Dm           G
can surely tell that he's not yet free;
        C     G        C             F
he can turn aside, but can no more ignore me
F                            E
than know which one of us is he,
F                              E
than tell what we are going to be,
F                            E
than know which one of us is me.

    Am                                                          G
And now we're going to the kitchen, fix ourselves a drink and a cigarette,
Dm                F                        Esus4        E
getting no closer to being the joker or thief.

Esus4           E
These mirror images,
Esus4           E
these mirror images
     Dsus4
won't stay, these mirror images
     Csus4
go away, these mirror images
         Bsus4                               A
are no help. In these mirror images of myself
Dm    A    Dm          G
          there are no secrets.
