Key of E

Verse 1:
  E                         A             E
I used to see a ballerina staring back at me
   E              C#m              A               E
A beauty queen a singing star was all I longed to be
  C#m                                   A              E
I’d dress up in my mother’s clothes and dance the days away
      C#m                              B
When nothing was torn and tattered broken or frayed




   E                         A                  E
I used to see an astronaut flying through the clouds
  E                C#m            A                 E
And in that look of innocence nothing brought you down
     C#m                             A          E
And everything was possible in the frame of a mirror
           C#m                           B
And every dream was coming true when you wished it down the river

Chorus:
          A                           B
But they don’t make mirrors like they used to
         C#m                         A        B
Cos they tell me the truth that I'm living truth
          A                            B
No they don’t make mirrors like they used to
          C#m                        A                B  E
Cos when I look in one now I see everything’s changed somehow


Verse 2:
    E                                A            E
I used to love the boy next door he loved me from afar
         E                   C#m                    A            E
With his ripped up jeans his long died hair and his battered old guitar
   C#m                             A                 E
He never did make Kurt Cobain he’s happy with his babies
         C#m                                              B
I guess love stood the test of time cos he still drives me crazy


Chorus:
           A                           B
But they don’t make mirrors like they used to
         C#m                         A      B
Cos they tell me the truth that i'm living truth
         A                             B
No they don’t make mirrors like they used to
            C#m                  A                    B   E
Cos when I look in one now I see everything’s changed somehow


Bridge:
B                                   C#m
Nothings the same and it all gets re-arranged
      B                           A
As you go where life will lead you too
        B                     C#m
And the books always open the circle is un-broken
         A                             B
And they don’t make mirrors like they used too


Final Chorus:
         A                           B
No they don’t make mirrors like they used to
         C#m                          A     B
Cos they tell me the truth that i'm living truth
       A                           B
They don’t make mirrors like they used to
           C#m                                 A      B   E
Cos when I look in one now I see everything’s changed somehow
        C#m                                A       B   E
When I look in one now I see everything’s changed somehow
