[VERSE]
        C majorC
Well, you've started again with the wife of a friend
                    G+G
On another night you hope you won't recall

And the wine that you're drinking doesn't keep you from thinking
                     C majorC
Of the bitter taste that lingers in your soul

[CHORUS]

      C majorC
And as you listen to your lies, once again you realize
                    FF
That she doesn't mean a thing to you at all
                      C majorC
And I watch you climb that stairway to the bottom
   G+G               C majorC
Every evening in that mirror on the wall

[INTERLUDE - KEY CHANGE]

C majorC C/BC/B A7A7

[VERSE]

      D MajorD
You take pride in deceiving one who tried hard believing in you
               A augmentedA
Even after all the lies you told

And the lies that you've spoken and each vow that you've broken
                   D MajorD
Was a new nail in the coffin of your soul

[CHORUS]

       D MajorD
And if you think someone's crying for the love that is dying
                       G+G
With the trust that you betray each time you fall
                     D MajorD
Look around you on that stairway to the bottom
     A augmentedA                D MajorD
No one's watching but that mirror on the wall

 G+G                    D MajorD
Look around you on that stairway to the bottom
     A augmentedA                D MajorD
No one's watching but that mirror on the wall

A augmentedA G+G D MajorD
