Deep Dark Truthful Mirror
from Spike

Some of the chord shapes I've tried to graph out, and the basic
chord shapes and barre chord shapes I didn't, but if you need any
of them graphed out, just e-mail me.

GG Piano Chord 
                    BmBm Piano Chord 

One day you're gonna have to face

AmAm Piano Chord 
                 GG Piano Chord 

A deep dark truthful mirror

DD Piano Chord 

And it's gonna tell you things that I still

CC Piano Chord 
                    DD Piano Chord 

Love you too much to say

GG Piano Chord 
                  BmBm Piano Chord 

The sky was just a purple bruise

AmAm Piano Chord 
             GG Piano Chord 

The ground was iron

DD Piano Chord 

And you fell all around the town

CC Piano Chord 
                    GG Piano Chord 
    CC Piano Chord 

Until you looked the same


[chorus]

GG Piano Chord 
              BB Piano Chord 

The same eyes, the same lips

EmEm Piano Chord 
                CC Piano Chord 

The same lie from your tongue trips

                           BmBm Piano Chord 

Now the flagstone streets where the newspaper shouts

AmAm Piano Chord 
                   GG Piano Chord 

Ring to the boots of roustabouts

DD Piano Chord 

And you're never in any doubt

CC Piano Chord 
                       DD Piano Chord 

There's something happening somewhere

GG Piano Chord 
                             BmBm Piano Chord 

You chase down the road till your fingers bleed

AmAm Piano Chord 
              GG Piano Chord 

On a fiberglass tumbleweed

DD Piano Chord 

You can blow around the town

CC Piano Chord 
                     GG Piano Chord 
    CC Piano Chord 

But it all shuts down the same

[chorus]

Bm                     Em              C C G (strum down)
So you bay for the boy in the tigerskin trunks

CC Piano Chord

They set him up, set him up on a stool

BmBm Piano Chord 
                      EmEm Piano Chord 
               CC Piano Chord 
 CC Piano Chord 
 GG Piano Chord 

He falls down, he falls down like a drunk

CC Piano Chord 
 CC Piano Chord 
 GG Piano Chord 

And you drink till you drool

CC Piano Chord 
        BmBm Piano Chord 
               GG Piano Chord 

And it's his story you'll flatter

C      Bm                     Em  (I think I play this as G again)
You'll stretch him out like a saint

CC Piano Chord 
       BmBm Piano Chord 
             EmEm Piano Chord 

But the canvas that he splattered

B/D#B/D# Piano Chord

A stripping puppet on a liquid stick

Gets into it pretty thick

DD Piano Chord 

A butterfly drinks a turtle's tears

CC Piano Chord 
                         DD Piano Chord 

But how do you know he really needs it

GG Piano Chord 
                    BmBm Piano Chord 

Cos a butterfly feeds on a dead monkey's hand
