[VERSE]

               C
Well, you've started again with the wife of a friend

                                       G
On another night you hope you won't recall

And the wine that you're drinking doesn't keep you from thinking

                                          C
Of the bitter taste that lingers in your soul

[CHORUS]

            C 
And as you listen to your lies, once again you realize

                                        F
That she doesn't mean a thing to you at all

                                            C
And I watch you climb that stairway to the bottom

      G                              C
Every evening in that mirror on the wall

[INTERLUDE - KEY CHANGE] C C/B A7 [VERSE]

           D 
You take pride in deceiving one who tried hard believing in you

                             A
Even after all the lies you told

And the lies that you've spoken and each vow that you've broken

                                      D
Was a new nail in the coffin of your soul

[CHORUS]

             D
And if you think someone's crying for the love that is dying

                                              G
With the trust that you betray each time you fall

                                         D
Look around you on that stairway to the bottom

          A                               D
No one's watching but that mirror on the wall

 G                                       D
Look around you on that stairway to the bottom

          A                               D
No one's watching but that mirror on the wall
