[E] [Em]
Time [G]
takes [Bm] its crazy toll
And [G] how does [Em] your mirror grow?
You better watch yourself when you jump into it
Cause the mirror's gonna steal your [E] soul
I wonder how it came [Em] to be my friend
That someone just [G] like you has come again
You'll never [Em] never know how close you [Bm] came
Until you [G] fall in love with the diamond ring
Throw all his [A] trash [Bm] away
[G] Look out, he's [A] here to [E] stay
[Em] Your mirror's gonna crack when he breaks into it
And [A] you'll [G] never never be [Em] the [E] same
Look into his eyes [Em] and you can see
Why all the [G] little kids are dressed in dreams
I [Em] wonder how he's gonna make it back
[Bm] He sees that [G] you just know it's make believe
Blood [A] crystallized [Bm] to sand
And [G] now I hope you [D] [E] understand
[A] You [Em] reflect into his [A] looking glass soul
And now the [Em] mirror is your only friend
Look into his eyes and you will see
That men are [G] not alone on the diamond sea
Sail [Em] into the heart of a lonely storm
And tell her [G] that you'll love her eternally

Mirror falling [D] off the [Em] wall
You better look [A] out for [Em] the looking glass girl
Cause she's gonna take you for [E] a fall
Look into his eyes and [Em] you shall see
Why [G] everything is quiet and nothing's free
[Em] I wonder how he's gonna make her smile
When love is [G] running wild on the diamond sea
