I see you standing in the alleys and the hallways (wait a second!)

You're gone now
AA Piano Chord 
          DD Piano Chord 
                                    EE Piano Chord 

I run to touch you but you vanish through the doorways
AA Piano Chord 

And oh how
EE Piano Chord 

Hard it is to live without you, I loved everything about you
GG Piano Chord 

Now I know you're really gone, but my imagination
AA Piano Chord 

Is so strong

C#mC#m Piano Chord 

[1: That  2: Then] I see you comin' into view
AA Piano Chord 
          C#mC#m Piano Chord 

And your face is tellin' me
F#mF#m Piano Chord 
                   EE Piano Chord 

Oh, yeah, oh, want to be by my side
F#mF#m Piano Chord 
                   EE Piano Chord 

Oh, yeah, oh, now it finally died      [1: (wait a second!)
2: (here it comes again!)]

 BmBm Piano Chord 
  EE Piano Chord 

Mirage, something I only see

Verse 2:

So I keep walking through the alleys and the hallways
Where are you
I keep remembering the kissing in the doorways
The car, too
How it all comes back to me, the movies every Saturday
The place we used to go to eat, I want so much to have it
Like it used to be

Just a mirage, (just a mirage) that's all you are to me
AA Piano Chord 
         DD Piano Chord 
              EE Piano Chord 
                      AA Piano Chord 

Just a mirage, (just a mirage) something that I only see
