G Bm | |||
One day you're gonna have to face | |||
Am G G/C G | |||
A deep dark truthful mirror | |||
D | |||
And it's gonna tell you things that I still | |||
C D | |||
Love you too much to say | |||
G Bm | |||
The sky was just a purple bruise | |||
Am G G/C G | |||
The ground was iron | |||
D | |||
And you fell all around the town | |||
C G | |||
Until you looked the same | |||
[Chorus:] | |||
C C G B | |||
The same eyes, the same lips | |||
Em C | |||
The same lie from your tongue trips | |||

C Am C C/B Am D/F# G [Horns] | |||
Deep dark, deep dark truthful mirror | |||
C Am C C/B Am D/F# G | |||
Deep dark, deep dark truthful mirror | |||
C C G Bm | |||
Now the flagstone streets where the newspaper shouts | |||
Am G G/C G | |||
Ring to the boots of roustabouts | |||
D | |||
And you're never in any doubt | |||
C D | |||
There's something happening somewhere | |||
G Bm | |||
You chase down the road till your fingers bleed | |||
Am G G/C G | |||
On a fiberglass tumbleweed | |||
D | |||
You can blow around the town | |||
C G | |||
But it all shuts down the same | |||
[Chorus] | |||
Bm Em | |||
So you bay for the boy in the tigerskin trunks | |||
C C G C C G | |||
They set him up, set him up on a stool | |||
Bm Em | |||
He falls down, he falls down like a drunk | |||
C C G C C G | |||
And you drink till you drool | |||
C Bm G | |||
And it's his story you'll flatter | |||
C Bm G | |||
You'll stretch him out like a saint | |||
C Bm Em | |||
But the canvas that he splattered | |||
C D C#dim | |||
Will be the picture that you never paint | |||
Em C G [Horns] | |||
C Am C C/B Am D/F# G [Horns] | |||
Deep dark, deep dark truthful mirror | |||
C Am C C/B Am D/F# G | |||
Deep dark, deep dark truthful mirror | |||
G Bm | |||
A stripping puppet on a liquid stick | |||
Am G | |||
Gets into it pretty thick | |||
D | |||
A butterfly drinks a turtle's tears | |||
C D | |||
But how do you know he really needs it | |||
G Bm | |||
'Cos a butterfly feeds on a dead monkey's hand | |||
Am G | |||
Jesus wept, he felt abandoned | |||
D | |||
You're spellbound, baby, there's no doubting that | |||
C D G | |||
Did you ever see a stare like a Persian cat | |||
[Chorus] | |||
