The Man In The Glass

         Am
When you get what you want in your struggle for self
                        G          Am
And the world makes you king for a day
     Am
Just go to a mirror and look at yourself
                  G          Am
And see what that man has to say

       Dm
For it isn't your father or mother or wife
Whose judgement upon you must pass
        Am
But the feller whose verdict counts most in your life
                   G             Am
Is the one staring back from the glass

            A
Oh, you can fool the whole world down the pathway of
yours
        G
And get pats on the back as you pass
         F
But your final reward will be heartaches and tears
       E
If you cheated the man (man)...
The man in the glass

            Am
Oh, you can be like Jack Horner and chisel a plum
                   G         Am
And think you're a wonderful guy
        Am
But the man in the glass says you're only a bum
                      G               Am
If you can't look him straight in the eye

         Dm
He's the feller to please, never mind all the rest
For he's with you clear up to the end
           Am
And you've passed your most dangerous physical test
                  G             Am
If the man in the glass is your friend

            A
Oh, you can fool the whole world down the pathway of
yours
        G
And get pats on the back as you pass
         F
But your final reward will be heartaches and tears
       E
If you cheated the man (man)...
The man in the glass

Am
No, never cheat the man in the glass, baby
Am
'Cause you're only gonna hurt yourself
Am
'Cause you see... that man in the glass is only you
