G Bm
One day you're gonna have to face
Am G G/C G
A deep dark truthful mirror
D
And it's gonna tell you things that I still
C D
Love you too much to say
G Bm
The sky was just a purple bruise
Am G G/C G
The ground was iron
D
And you fell all around the town
C G
Until you looked the same
[Chorus:]
C C G B
The same eyes, the same lips
Em C
The same lie from your tongue trips
Horns:

C Am C C/B Am D/F# G [Horns]
Deep dark, deep dark truthful mirror
C Am C C/B Am D/F# G
Deep dark, deep dark truthful mirror
C C G Bm
Now the flagstone streets where the newspaper shouts
Am G G/C G
Ring to the boots of roustabouts
D
And you're never in any doubt
C D
There's something happening somewhere
G Bm
You chase down the road 'til your fingers bleed
Am G G/C G
On a fiberglass tumbleweed
D
You can blow around the town
C G
But it all shuts down the same
[Chorus]
Bm Em
So you bay for the boy in the tigerskin trunks
C C G C C G
They set him up, set him up on a stool
Bm Em
He falls down, he falls down like a drunk
C C G C C G
And you drink till you drool
C Bm G
And it's his story you'll flatter
C Bm G
You'll stretch him out like a saint
C Bm Em
But the canvas that he splattered
C D C#dim
Will be the picture that you never paint
Em C G [Horns]
C Am C C/B Am D/F# G [Horns]
Deep dark, deep dark truthful mirror
C Am C C/B Am D/F# G
Deep dark, deep dark truthful mirror
G Bm
A stripping puppet on a liquid stick
Am G
Gets into it pretty thick
D
A butterfly drinks a turtle's tears
C D
But how do you know he really needs it
G Bm
'Cos a butterfly feeds on a dead monkey's hand
Am G
Jesus wept, he felt abandoned
D
You're spellbound, baby, there's no doubting that
(that's where it's at)
C D G
Did you ever see a stare like a Persian cat
[Chorus]
