Mirror I Cannot Avoid

Bb                         F
I caught you caterwauling, giving 
grief
Gm                              
Thought you were cannonballing after
Dm
 me
Am                       F
I let your actions speak for 
   Am  Bb  C
themselves
               Dm  (picked)
And wished you well


Bb                    F
But you're a mirror I cannot avoid
Gm                         Dm
Strung out and jittery and paranoid
Am                    F    Am   
A leaky battery that can't keep 
Bb     C
charged
Gm             Bb C
Get in the car
F                Dm
And say what you mean
Bb      C           F
Explain yourself to me
Gm                  Dm
And I'll try not to judge you more 
than you
C
would


 F      Dm
Let me help,

Bb        C      F
I promise not to tell
Gm            Dm            
Like anyone's asking or anyone 
   C
should


Bb                          F
First time I met you, I was full of 
fear
Gm                        
Knew that eventually, you'd 
  Dm
disappear
Am                      F     Am
Just when I needed you, you'd 
     Bb C
burned to smoke
              Dm
And off you'd go


 F         Dm
Just come back
Bb       C        F
and peel away the mess
Gm                     Dm     
Lay here beside me and open your 
    C
eyes
F        Dm
Take it back
Bb   C              F
Your dignity, your tact
Gm                          Dm   
Turn back to the person you tried
        C
 to let die


Bb                           
I caught you nesting with your 
  F
analog
Gm                       Dm
Glassy eyed from kissing poison 
frogs
Am                F  Am   Bb   C
Becoming infinite against his couch


Gm             Bb  C
Open your mouth
F            Dm
And say the words
Bb          C        F
You used to wish you heard
Gm             Dm                 
Back when you focused enough to be 
 C
good


F              Dm
And if you're gone
Bb         C     F
An endless false alarm
Gm               Dm
Just remember, I loved you
             C
As long as I could
