Verse 1:
G                            Am
 I saw this mirror, I looked through it
  G                              Am
Reflections looked most bent and old
G                       Am
 Cared too much, hating hatred
                G                 Am  G Em G Em
Seeing things deformed and almost cold

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

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

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