INTRO: C G C F C G
Well you [C]started again with a wife of a friend
On another night you hope you won't re[G]call
[G]And the wine that you're drinkin' doesn't keep you from thinkin'
Of the bitter taste that lingers in your [C]soul
[C]As you listen to your lies, once again you realize
That she doesn't mean a [C7]thing to you at [F]all
And I watch you climb that stairway to the [C]bottom
Every [G]evenin' in that mirror on the [C]wall
(KEY CHANGE TO D)
You take [D]pride in decievin' one who tried hard believin' in you
Even after all the lies you [A]told
[A]But each lie that you've spoken and each vow that you've broken
Was a new nail in the coffin of your [D]soul
[D]If you think someone's cryin' for the love that is dyin'
With the trust that you be[D7]tray each time you [G]fall
Look around you on that stairway to the [D]bottom
No one's [A]watchin' but that mirror on the [D]wall[D7]
Look a[G]round you on that stairway to the [D]bottom
No one's [A]watchin' but that mirror on the [D]wall
