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