[VERSE]
C
Well, you've started again with the wife of a friend
G
On another night you hope you won't recall
And the wine that you're drinking doesn't keep you from thinking
C
Of the bitter taste that lingers in your soul
[CHORUS]
C
And as you listen to your lies, once again you realize
F
That she doesn't mean a thing to you at all
C
And I watch you climb that stairway to the bottom
G C
Every evening in that mirror on the wall
[INTERLUDE - KEY CHANGE]
C C/B A7
[VERSE]
D
You take pride in deceiving one who tried hard believing in you
A
Even after all the lies you told
And the lies that you've spoken and each vow that you've broken
D
Was a new nail in the coffin of your soul
[CHORUS]
D
And if you think someone's crying for the love that is dying
G
With the trust that you betray each time you fall
D
Look around you on that stairway to the bottom
A D
No one's watching but that mirror on the wall
G D
Look around you on that stairway to the bottom
A D
No one's watching but that mirror on the wall
A G D
