Mirror
From the "I am" EP
By Juliette Reilly
Verse 1:
G+G
Hallway, high school,
E minorEm
Their words cut deeper than they know
Get up, look cool,
C majorC
Put on some glitter for the show
C majorC
Tryin' to fit the archetype
D MajorD
But something isn't feeling right
G+G
Weekends, alone, They say they'll call
E minorEm
but never do it
E minorEm C majorC
By, the phone, Hope someone notices you
C majorC
Replicate their every move
D MajorD
To fit the mould and make it through
Chorus:
E minorEm
What you see in the mirror,
C majorC
Isn't clearer,
G+G D MajorD
Than the fight that's in your heart
E minorEm
Love yourself first,
C majorC
In your own words
G+G D MajorD
Don't let them tear you apart
E minorEm C majorC
Just keep your eyes
G+G D MajorD
On what's inside
E minorEm
'Cause the mirror lies
C majorC G+G D MajorD
Woah-oh-oh Woah-oh-oh Woah-oh-oh
D MajorD
'Cause the mirror lies
Verse 2:
G+G
Get thin, fit in
G+G E minorEm
To jeans that you don't even like
E minorEm
Change clothes, five times,
C majorC
But you are just the perfect size
He'll love you just the way you are
D MajorD
If he's good enough to hold your heart
G+G
Now there's, whispers, small town,
G+G
Like fire it takes hold of you
E minorEm
Reflect, perfect,
E minorEm
Just smile and hold back the truth
C majorC
Don't let them see that you're afraid
D MajorD
They'll never know you anyway!
Chorus:
E minorEm
What you see in the mirror,
C majorC
Isn't clearer,
G+G D MajorD
Than the fight that's in your heart
E minorEm
Love yourself first,
C majorC
In your own words
G+G D MajorD
Don't let them tear you apart
E minorEm C majorC
Just keep your eyes
G+G D MajorD
On what's inside
G+G
'Cause the mirror lies
Verse 3:
G+G
Ten years, later,
E minorEm
Everything you knew you would be
E minorEm
Look in, the mirror,
C majorC
Tell the girl that's still sixteen
C majorC
Be someone you can get behind
D MajorD
Someone that you recognize
Chorus:
E minorEm
What you see in the mirror,
C majorC
Isn't clearer,

Than the fight that's in your heart

In your own words

Just keep your eyes

On what's inside

E minorEm
'Cause the mirror lies
