Chords

[Intro]
   Dm
It starts

         Gm         Am       Gm                Am
With the unexpected loss of something dear

    Dm
The warmth

     Gm             Am             Eb           Am
That comforted and cradled just disappears

    Eb
And in its place, there's nothing

        Dm
Just an endless empty hole

    Eb
The light that showed the way is gone

    Dm
And darkness takes control

Db             Cm        Gb                Fm
Bitterness and anger are quick to fill the void

    B          Bbm        Abm              Abm/Gb                F             Bb
The path to isolation is littered with the dreams that lay destroyed
[Verse 1]
    Dm
The cold

         Gm         Am         Gm               Am
Seems to grow in my soul, it's consuming me

   Dm
Confused

        Gm       Am        Eb        Am
And I'm losing myself in a storm

        Dm
Growing jaded

      Gm            Am             Gm
Being pushed, being pulled, I'm unraveling

Dm                         Gm         Am           Eb       A
Can't find myself when I'm constantly forced to conform
[Pre-Chorus 1]
Eb
Enemies surround me

        Dm
But the worst appear as friends

Eb
Liars and pretenders

     Dm
Only seek to reach their ends

Db            Cm
Everything is breaking

Gb              Fm
Right before my eyes

Bmaj7             Bbm
Looking in the mirror

  Abm              Abm/Gb        F  Bb
I see someone that I don't recognize
Bbm Db Gb Fm Cm Gm Eb Dm [Verse 2]
    Dm
The joy

        Gm            Am      Gm            Am
That my heart used to know is eluding me

  Dm
Removed

        Gm          Am        Eb     Am
And the one thing I feel is alone

       Dm
Smiles faded

        Gm           Am          Gm          Am
And I'm spinning and sinking and weakening

Dm
Frozen and stuck

    Gm         Am            Eb      A
Too lonely, it chills to the bone
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Eb                      Dm
Memories escaping as my heart begins to drain

Eb                                     Dm
Scars that cover wounds can't hide the self-inflicted pain

Db            Cm         Gb                  Fm
Everything my mind wants in conflict with my heart

Bmaj7            Bbm            Abm                        F   Bb
Fighting back surrender, but every day I'm falling more apart
Bb7alt(#9b13) (soloing over Ebm harmonic/5th mode of minor harmonic) [Chorus 1]
Ebm
Mirror, what's this thing I see?

Bmaj7
Who is staring back at me?

Ebm                                        E
This stranger to my heart that's filled my life

Abm    Ebm9      Abm F  Bb
Mirror help me, who am I?
