Verse 1
(A minor) When a man of my age (E major) shaves
his face in the morning,
Who (A major) is it that stares back
and greets him? (D minor)
The ghost of his father long dead
all these years?
Or the boy (G major) that he was,
still wet in the ears?
Or the terrible (E major) sum of all of (A minor) his fears,
In the eyes (B major) of this stranger (E major) who meets him?
So his glance (A minor) rarely strays (E major) from his chin or
Verse 2
his jawline,
To face up to the (A major) truth of his soul, (D minor)
It's the eyes he avoids so afraid
to acknowledge,
Something (G major) strange, unexpected,
(E major) out of control.

And (E minor) where does that leave you?
You self- (F sharp minor) styled man (B major) of vision.

To des (A minor) troy the one she loves,

Like a pan (C major) tomime villain
with an axe (A major) to grind?
To re (D minor) gain your self- respect,
hold your (E minor) head up like a man, (A major)
Use the (F major) ice around your
