[Verse]
ELooking In The Mirror
Must be Aharder than you Ethought
Truth is not a pretty sight to Asee
Cheatin? ain?t worth cheatin? honey
EWhen you?re getting? caughtF#m  
Lovin? him while losin? you and Bme.
EMaybe I was foolish
Sometimes Adreamers often Eare
I believed that you believed in Ame
Standing in love?s quicksand honey
EReachin? for a star
Lookin? for your Blove to set me Efree.
[Chorus]
AI?ve seen all them dreams
I ever Ethought was coming trueA  
Shattered like the mirror in your EhallA  
Leaving you reflection like a Efour letter wordB  
Fading quickly on some bathroom Ewall.
ETrying to understand love
Is the Ahardest part of Eall
Does it really matter whose to Ablame
Once I called you honey
Now I Enever call at allF#m  
Knowing you would only call me Bnames.
ESeeing it was over
Did not Amean that you could Ego
                               A
Leaving me the pleasure of the pain
Trusting someone else will be
A Eharder row to hoe
Lovin? won?t me be easier Eagain.
[Chorus]
ELooking In The Mirror
Must be Aharder than you Ethought
Truth is not a pretty sight to Asee
Cheatin? ain?t worth cheatin? honey
EWhen you?re getting? caughtF#m  
Lovin? him while losin? you and Bme.

Must be harder than you thought

Cheatin? ain?t worth cheatin? honey

E F#m

When you?re getting? caught

Lovin? him while losin? you and me.

Maybe I was foolish

A E

Sometimes dreamers often are

I believed that you believed in me

Standing in love?s quicksand honey

Reachin? for a star

B E

Lookin? for your love to set me free.

[Chorus]

I?ve seen all them dreams

E A

I ever thought was coming true

E A

Shattered like the mirror in your hall

E B

Leaving you reflection like a four letter word

Fading quickly on some bathroom wall.

Trying to understand love

A E

Is the hardest part of all

Does it really matter whose to blame

Once I called you honey

E F#m

Now I never call at all

Knowing you would only call me names.

Seeing it was over

A E

Did not mean that you could go

Leaving me the pleasure of the pain

Trusting someone else will be

A harder row to hoe

Lovin? won?t me be easier again.

[Chorus]

Looking In The Mirror

Must be harder than you thought

Truth is not a pretty sight to see

Cheatin? ain?t worth cheatin? honey

Lovin? him while losin? you and me.
