Verse 
               C 
Well, you've started again with the wife of a friend 
                                       G 
On another night you hope you won't recall 
                                                           
And the wine that you're drinking doesn't keep you from thinking 
                                          C 
Of the bitter taste that lingers in your soul 

            C  
And as you listen to your lies, once again you realize 
                                        F 
That she doesn't mean a thing to you at all 
                                            C 
And I watch you climb that stairway to the bottom 
      G                              C 
Every evening in that mirror on the wall

VERSE 

           D  
You take pride in deceiving one who tried hard believing in you 
                             A 
Even after all the lies you told 

And the lies that you've spoken and each vow that you've broken 
                                      D 
Was a new nail in the coffin of your soul 

             D 
And if you think someone's crying for the love that is dying 
                                              G 
With the trust that you betray each time you fall 
                                         D 
Look around you on that stairway to the bottom 
          A                               D 
No one's watching but that mirror on the wall 

 G                                       D 
Look around you on that stairway to the bottom 
          A                               D 
No one's watching but that mirror on the wall
