[Intro]
C G F x2
[Verse1]
C Dm Gm C7
Is a man, his own tragic mirror
F Dm7b5 C D7
capable of such crimes he is scared
C G F C
to look at himself too long at a time.
C Dm Gm C7
Is a man, his own wrapped up worry
F Dm7b5 C D7
thinking he will do wrong very shortly.
C G F C
The answer remains locked up in his head.
[Chorus1]
Am
And charity plays a game with your head
D7
it gets to you now, it gets to you now
Am
and charity plays away with your head
D7
it gets to you now, it gets to you now.
F
Somehow you've got to smarten up
G
and act like nothing's ever gonna
Gm F Fm C C7 Dm Bb7
break you, break you, break your mirror in two.
[Verse2]
C Dm Gm C7
Is a man aware of his defects
F Dm7b5 C D7
such a sensitive soul such a rebel
C G F C
capable of detecting his flaws.
C Dm Gm C7
Is a man self righteous, self pitying
F Dm7b5 C D7 C
nursing losses and pain and inflicting guilt
G F C
that should keep them busy for days.
[Chorus2]
Am
And charity plays a game with your head
D7
it gets to you now, it gets to you now
Am
and vanity takes your dog for a walk
D7
it gets to you now, it gets to you now.
F
Somehow you'e got to smarten up
G
and act like nothing's ever gonna
Gm F Fm C C7 Dm Bb7
break you, break you, break your mirror in two.
[Break]
C Gm F Fm C C7 Dm Bb7
C G F
C Dm Gm C7
Is a man really worth the attention
F Dm7b5 C
so mature but so dumb.
D7 C G F C
In broad daylight the answer remains locked up in his head
G F C
it's blowing around somewhere in his head.
