Intro:
G+G E minorEm G+G E minorEm G+G E minorEm

Verse 1:
G+G              A minorAm
 I saw this mirror, I looked through it
 G+G               A minorAm
Reflections looked most bent and old
G+G            A minorAm
 Cared too much, hating hatred
        G+G         A minorAm G+G E minorEm G+G E minorEm
Seeing things deformed and almost cold

Verse 2:
G+G            A minorAm
 Crying sadly, shielding gladly my eyes
G+G       A minorAm   G+G
 From the ugly side of fat men seeing, almost
A minorAm                  G+G
Thin men peeping, sleeping, looking, falling
   A minorAm         G+G  E minorEm G+G E minorEm
Dizzy from their windows high

Verse 3:
G+G               A minorAm
 The men of magic thinking if evil
            G+G            A minorAm
He was bringing sunless children, Seeing all the bad
   G+G            A minorAm
'Cos beauty was too ugly And faceless people
        G+G          A minorAm G+G E minorEm G+G E minorEm
Wondered at the beautiful forms they had

Verse 4:
G+G              A minorAm
Now the mirror's broken, I'm smiling, seeing good things
   G+G                 A minorAm
Yet despite foot splinters swirl in the air
  G+G          A minorAm
Forever call him beauty Children come at night time
       G+G                E minorEm
Weird things blackening the fairest maiden's hair
