INTRO
[Em] [Bm] (x4)
VERSE 1
The [G] windows watch me [D] wait for you
[Amaj7] Mirror mirror, mirror mirror
I’ve [G] seen a world be [D] yond their view
[Amaj7] Mirror mirror, mirror mirror
Of [Em7] course the night times [Bm7] are the worst
Of [Em7] course I burn with an [Bm7] evil burst
[Em7] You exist so [Bm7] I am cursed
[C#m] Mirror mirror, [E7/G#] mirror mirror
[C#m] Mirror mirror, mirror mirror
CHORUS 1
[Gmaj7] I’ll be good ’till [Bm7] Thursday [Cmaj7] comes
The [Cmaj7] world will think I never had
An i [Cmaj7] dea that could drive me mad
[Gmaj7] I’ll be good ’till [Bm7] Thursday [Cmaj7] comes
Then [Am7] burn all [G6] good a [F#7] way
INSTRUMENTAL
[G] [Dm6] [A6] (x2)
VERSE 2
I [G] weed my house, I [D] wash my trees
[Amaj7] Mirror mirror, mirror mirror
I [G] cross my legs in [D] front of me
[Amaj7] Mirror mirror, mirror mirror
I [Em7] tingle at the [Bm7] thought of you
Is [Em7] this what the [Bm7] humans do?
My [Em7] childish words just [Bm7] don’t ring true
[C#m] See ya later, [E7/G#] great dictator
[C#m] In a while, nadaphile
CHORUS 2
[Gmaj7] I’ll be good ’till [Bm7] Thursday [Cmaj7] comes
Well, un [Cmaj7] less I am misleading you
You [Cmaj7] shine me up and make me new
[Gmaj7] I’ll be good ’till [Bm7] Thursday [Cmaj7] comes
And [Am7] wish I [G6] never did [Gm7] say
CHORUS 3
[Gmaj7] I’ll be good ’till [Bm7] Thursday [Cmaj7] comes
[Cmaj7] It’s such a lot of fun
To [Cmaj7] watch the liar I’ve become
But [Gmaj7] I’ll be good ’till [Bm7] Thursday [Cmaj7] comes
And [Am7] burn all [C/D] good a [G] way
OUTRO/FADE
[G] Ah [D] [A] dream of this, my lover
[G] Ah [D] [A] dream of this, my lover
I am your [G] lover [D] lover now [A]
