(Ian Hunter)
D G Gm/Bb
I'm feelin' ugly
D/A E7/G#
I'm feelin low
A D
Mornin' mirror
Em7 A11 D
you ain't no rose
G Gm/Bb
And did I mean it
D/A E7/G#
or did I lie
A D
or did I dream it
Em A11 B
Oh Christ I'm tired.
E/G# D#m G#m G#m/F# E B
Why then did ya have to grin, now the blood runs down my chin
E/G# D#m G#m G#m/F# E
Oh You know you painted so much blue, and I'm much younger than that too
B E F# B
Oh mirror - what did I do to you?
B7 E E7 A D7 G A D G D A7
D G Gm/Bb D/A E7/G# A
You're my voyeur - see every line - chase them to destinations
D Em7 A11
On through time
D G Gm/Bb D/A E7/G# A D Em
And you're my diary - yeah, the bitter truth - unexpurgated - a mis-spent youth
A11 B
E/G# D#m G#m G#m/F# E D
Do you have to paint teeth green, when they're snowy, white and clean?
E/G# D#m G#m G#m/F# E E
Do you have to make eyes red, when they're clear and fresh instead?
B E F# B
Oh mirror, I wish you'd lose your head
A/C# Cdim E/B Bbdim F#m
Sometimes I'm on a gig, and I'm feeling kinda good
G#7 G#7 C#m B A A/C#
I run and look at you, just like a pop star would
Cdim E/B Bbdim
But you just glare at me with those dark accusing eyes
F#m7 B A E/G#
That say "My make-up's good..." I'd like to.... I'd like so much to....
B
E/G# D#m G#m G#m/F#
Oh I'll never look at you again - 'cause I'm really not that vain
E B
E/G# D#m G#m G#m/F# E
Seven years bad luck ain't that long - before I smash you, hear my song
B E F# B
Oh mirror, I'm sorry you were wrong.
