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

[E5] [B5] [A]
[E5] [B/D#] [A]
[E5] [B/D#] [C#m7]
[A] [B5] [E5] ([E] [F#] [Ab])

You could [E5]stay a while longer [B/D#]
We could [C#m7]stay up and talk [B5]about last [A]summer
We could [E5]go down to the [B/D#]water
Watch the [C#m7]sunset [B5]going [A]under

It’s [C#m7]not that I’m a [B5]stranger to lonely [A]moments
I’ve [E5]had my [B/D#]share of [A]those [C5]

Please don’t [E5]go
Please don’t [B/D#]leave me [C#m7]alone
  [A]                [B5]        [E5]  ([E] [F#] [Ab])
A mirror’s so much harder to hold

I could [E5]try and point the [B/D#]finger
But the [C#m7]glass points in [B5]my dir[A]ection
([A] [B] [Eb])  [E5]             [B/D#]
Sure, you got your sharp edges
But my [C#m7]wounds are from my [B5]own refl[A]ection

You’ve got [C#m7]nothing I could [B5]ever hold ag[A]ainst you
I got [E5]fatal flaws to [B/D#]call my [A]own [C5]

I met a [F#5]man who’s looking for [B/D#]perfection
Said he [F#5]never met a girl who’s good [B/D#]enough
His [Ab]eyes are getting old
Like they’d [A]love to love again
Such a [C#]lonely [B5]m---[F#]an
Such a [B5]lonely man, eww eww [B]eww

I see [E5]him in my refl[B/D#]ection
       [C#m7]          [B5]       [A]   ([A] [B] [Eb])
Taking steps towards me these days
So I [E5]hold you that much [B/D#]closer
And [C#m7]pray we don’t [B5]throw this [A]away

It’s [C#m7]not that I’m a [B5]man who couldn’t [A]love you
I [E5]know what these [B/D#]arms are [A]for [C5]

Please don’t [E5]go
Please don’t [B/D#]leave me [C#m7]alone
A [A]mirror’s so much [B5]harder to [E5]hold [B/D#]
A [C#m7]mirror’s so much [B5]harder to [A]hold
([A] [B] [Eb])     [E5]
Please don't go
Please don’t [B/D#]leave me [C#m7]cold
  [A]         [B5]        [E5]  ([E] [F#] [Ab])
A mirror is harder to hold
