My Mirror

B  G  A

A                    Bm           Abm
    When I feel your eyes on me I fall to my knees
      G                     A
And I wait for your look to judge and define me
            Bm             B
I'm just a thin shell breaking in your palm
G                       A
Starving for substance, identity
A                       Bm               Abm
I am not afraid of this act of mutual creation
G                  A
I take from you as you take from me
             Bm                 Abm
Like nervous hands reaching out for each other
G                                     A
Your eyes can tell no lies, I am what you see

          Bm
You're my mirror
             A
Everything I do I see in you
          G
You're my mirror
        A
In your eyes I hide
          Bm
You're my mirror
         A
What you see is what you're giving me
          G
You're my mirror
        A
In your eyes

A             Bm              Abm
   As I turn around to leave, I’m still in your spell
          G                               A
I catch a glimpse of my reflection in the window by your bed
        Bm                        Abm              G
What an odd surprise to bump into myself like that…Uhmm
A                          Bm            Abm
   I can see right through myself to the flowers on your lawn
        G                              A
And the empty space before me swallows everything you give
Bm                                 Abm
  I turn back to your look to find peace in your eyes
G                   B    A
I'm nothing without you, I'm hollow without you

          Bm
You're my mirror
             A
Everything I do I see in you
          G
You're my mirror
        A
In your eyes I hide
          Bm
You're my mirror
         A
What you see is what you're giving me
          G
You're my mirror
        A
In your eyes

G                           Gbm                    G
    I find in his look an insecurity childishly submissive
                     Gbm                       G
I say foolish things I do strange things for attention
                                  Gbm
He finds within me some kind of unfamiliar hardness
G                                 A
   He sees both the child and the cynic
E              B              A
   Everyhing I hold inside of me
Bm                    E
Everything I'm hoping I can be

Gbm         Bm
You're my mirror
             A
Everything I do I see in you
           G
You're my mirror
        A
In your eyes I hide
           Bm
You're my mirror
         A
What you see is what you're giving me
          G
You're my mirror
             A
It's in your eyes
           Bm
You're my mirror
