IN THE MIRROR
Stanley, Kulick, Cuomo
Intro: Rhy. fig 1
Rhy. fig 2
Rhy. fig 1
You were in the right
Until you're left stuck in the middle
I still wonder why
Rhy. fig 3a
You gave it all for such a little
Rhy. fig 4
You, tell me you're only
Scared to be lonely
On and on
You, livin' on credit
Want it, you get it
Right or wrong
Rhy. fig 5
You oughtta take a look in the mirror
Every line's gettin' clearer
See the face you can't deny
Rhy. fig 1
You appear to me
Appear to be lost in confusion
Rhy. fig 2
Rhy. fig 1
I don't wanna live
Rhy. fig 3a
Only to die in your illusion
Rhy. fig 4 with Riff 1a & Riff 1b
You, dial information
Station to station
On and on
You, lie to your lover
Make him your cover
Blindfold on
Rhy. fig 5
You oughtta take a look in the mirror
Every line's gettin' clearer
See the face you can't deny
Take a look in the mirror
All your fear gettin' nearer
Nothin' left to get you by
Rhy. fig 6
Only a matter of time
Leavin' illusion behind
Tick Tock
Rhy. fig 7
Solo over Rhy. fig 5
Rhy. fig 1 with Riff 2
You won't realize
'Till all the eyes are truly open
You can't hide away
Rhy. fig 3b
Throw what you may, when all is broken
Rhy. fig 5
You oughtta take a look in the mirror
Every line's gettin' clearer
See the face you can't deny
Take a look in the mirror
All your fear gettin' nearer
Nothin' left to get you by
Riff 3
