E9/F# E4/F# G2
Beautiful,? I watch you try
E9/F# E4/F# G2
To see yourself through other's eyes
E9/F# E4/F# G2
But mirrors are a losing game
E9/F# E4/F# G2
They only show you backwards anyway
G A F#4/B
The magic and the misery
G A F#4/B
Come and go so easily
G A F#4/B
But everything you'll ever be
G A E9/F# E4/F# G2 2x
You already are to me
E9/F# E4/F# G2
And you were only five years old
E9/F# E4/F# G2
Playing princess in your mother's clothes
E9/F# E4/F# G2
Could you feel me standing next to you
E9/F# E4/F# G2
With my plastic sword and playground shoes
G A F#4/B
Saying "If my dear I'm wrong somehow
G A F#4/B
May dragons come and fell me now
G A F#4/B
'Cause everything you'll never be
G A E9/F# E4/F# G2
You already are to me."
Bm7 E9/F# G6(9)
Why, I don't know why
I don't know why you think you need to do it
Bm7 E9/F# G6(9)
How, I don't know how
G2
I don't? know how but I just sit back and I see my way right through it
E9/F# E4/F# G2
When the memories are ten feet tall
E9/F# E4/F# G2
Throwing shadows on your bedroom wall
E9/F# E4/F# G2
When you pull the shades and kill the lights
Bm7 E9/F# G6(9)
 
Will you hear me singing out tonight?
Bm7 E9/F# G6(9)
 
Will you hear me singing out tonight?
G A F#4/B
Days are long and words are cruel
G A F#4/B
They wont get the best of you
G A F#4/B
Because everything youll ever be
G A E9/F# E4/F# G2
You have always been to
 
E4/F# G2
Always been to me 6x
