Mirror Images

    Dm      A         Dm      
If I'm the mirror and you're the 
    A
image
     Dm         G         Dm      
then what's the secret between the 
 A
two,
       Dm        A          Dm   
these 'me's and 'you's, how many 
          G
can there be?
    C                 G
Oh, I don't mind all that around the
 place,
   C             F             
as long as you keep it well away 
      Esus4   E
from me.

   Dm           A         Dm      
I've begun to regret that we ever 
 A
met
   Dm         G         Dm A
between the dimensions.
   Dm             A         Dm   
It gets such a strain to pretend 
          G
that the change
   C              G
is anything but cheap...
          C       G           
with your infant pique and your 
  C         F
angst pretensions
                         Esus4
sometimes you act like a creep.

    Am                             
And now I'm standing in the corner,
                         G
 looking at the room and the 
furniture
Dm                F              
in cheap imitation of alienation 
     Esus4
and grief.
    Am                             
And now we're going to the kitchen,
 fix ourselves a drink and a 
G
cigarette,
Dm                F              
getting no closer to being the 
          Esus4        E
joker or thief.

Dm           A          Dm       A
Still, I reflect, this nervous wreck
 Dm           G       Dm     
who stands before me can see as 
    A
well,
    Dm       A        Dm          
can surely tell that he's not yet 
 G
free;
        C     G        C         
he can turn aside, but can no 
    F
more ignore me
F                            E
than know which one of us is he,
F                              E
than tell what we are going to be,
F                            E
than know which one of us is me.

These mirror images,
Esus4           E
these mirror images
     Dsus4
won't stay, these mirror images
     Csus4
go away, these mirror images
         Bsus4                     
are no help. In these mirror images
          A
 of myself
Dm    A    Dm          G
          there are no secrets.
