If it's a  mirror you want

 Just look in-to my eyes

 Someone to des-pise
[Verse 4]

 That's all some people ever want to be

 You can't con-trol an inde-pendent heart (can't hold what you, can't keep)

For-ever conditioned to be-lieve that we can't live, we can't live here and be happy with less

Gm7             Bb6/F              C/E                       C          Csus4
So many riches, so many souls, and everything we see that we want to po-ssess
