[Intro]
E5 B5 A
E5 B/D# A
E5 B/D# C#m7
A B5 E5 (E F# G#)
[Verse 1]
E5 B/D#
You could stay a while longer
C#m7 B5 A
We could stay up and talk about last summer
E5 B/D#
We could go down to the water
C#m7 B5 A
Watch the sunset going under
[Pre-Chorus 1]
C#m7 B5 A
It’s not that I’m a stranger to lonely moments
E5 B/D# A C5
I’ve had my share of those
[Chorus]
E5
Please don’t go
B/D# C#m7
Please don’t leave me alone
A B5 E5 (E F# G#)
A mirror’s so much harder to hold
[Verse 2]
E5 B/D#
I could try and point the finger
C#m7 B5 A
But the glass points in my direction
(A B D#) E5 B/D#
Sure, you got your sharp edges
C#m7 B5 A
But my wounds are from my own reflection
[Pre-Chorus 2]
C#m7 B5 A
You’ve got nothing I could ever hold against you
E5 B/D# A C5
I got fatal flaws to call my own
(Chorus)
[Bridge]
F#5 B/D#
I met a man who’s looking for perfection
F#5 B/D#
Said he never met a girl who’s good enough
G#
His eyes are getting old
A
Like they’d love to love again
C# B5 F#/A#
Such a lonely m---an
B5 Bsus4
Such a lonely man, eww eww eww
[Verse 3]
E5 B/D#
I see him in my reflection
C#m7 B5 A (A B D#)
Taking steps towards me these days
E5 B/D#
So I hold you that much closer
C#m7 B5 A
And pray we don’t throw this away
[Pre-Chorus 3]
C#m7 B5 A
It’s not that I’m a man who couldn’t love you
E5 B/D# A C5
I know what these arms are for
[Chorus]
E5
Please don’t go
B/D# C#m7
Please don’t leave me alone
A B5 E5 B/D#
A mirror’s so much harder to hold
C#m7 B5 A
A mirror’s so much harder to hold
(A B D#) E5
Please don't go
B/D# C#m7
Please don’t leave me cold
A B5 E5 (E F# G#)
A mirror is harder to hold
