Back Street Mirror
   A  DCorner bar, smoke filled room full of inclinationA  
I went Ddown to some market street preachers for some inspirationA  
And as Emy mind got face set to the window with exageDration
I Athought I was Dfalling AthrougGh
But I was Atold to be Dstanding AtooG  
And I E7felt about how hard it would Dbe, being here withAout you
Introduced to a butcher disguised in such blind elation
Tried a Duchess of Sooth, who kept her booth selling quaint quotations
As she complained of red haired dead losers causing her aggravation
I talked about what our life could do
To seek her eyes as to what I was seeing through
And I felt about how hard it would be, being here without you
Boarded in on the thirteenth floor of the Hotel Confusion
I was asked 'Don't you think that your thoughts are only an illusion?'
And as I looked to the street below from the lax typically simple exclusion
I was stopped by the thought of you
And not what I was thinking to do
And I felt about how hard it would be, being here without you

Back Street Mirror

A D A

Corner bar, smoke filled room full of inclination

D A

I went down to some market street preachers for some inspiration

E D

And as my mind got face set to the window with exageration

A D A G

I thought I was falling through

A D A G

But I was told to be standing too

E7 D A

And I felt about how hard it would be, being here without you

Introduced to a butcher disguised in such blind elation

Tried a Duchess of Sooth, who kept her booth selling quaint quotations

As she complained of red haired dead losers causing her aggravation

I talked about what our life could do

To seek her eyes as to what I was seeing through

And I felt about how hard it would be, being here without you

Boarded in on the thirteenth floor of the Hotel Confusion

I was asked 'Don't you think that your thoughts are only an illusion?'

And as I looked to the street below from the lax typically simple exclusion

I was stopped by the thought of you

And not what I was thinking to do

And I felt about how hard it would be, being here without you
