Verse 1
(E minor) Closer than close you see yourself
A mirrored image of (C major) what
you wanted to (E minor) be
As each day goes by a little more
You can't remember what it (C major) was
you wanted (A minor) (E minor) anyway (A minor)
The (E minor) fin gers (A minor) feel the lines (E minor)
they prod the (A minor) space (E minor)
Your (A minor) aging face the face (C major) that
once was (D major) so beautiful
(C major) Is still there but unrecognizable (D major)
(E minor) Private hell
