Capo 9th fret
Standard (EADGBE)
Verse 1
In the morning on the train
sitting and staring at the rain
or bury yourself in your books.
Don't look at no strangers, no don't give them any looks.
Well you ask yourself why you're so afraid,
why you hesitate when someone asks your name.
But they'll come too close if you tell them the truth.
Who's to say they want something from you?
Chorus
Well your just a shell of your former youth.
That stranger in the mirror, oh, that's you. Why do you look so blue?
Verse 2
Then the only man you ever loved, he thought was going to marry you, died in a car
accident when he was only twenty-two. Then you just decided love wasn't for you.
And every year since then has proved it to be true.
Chorus
Now your just a shell of your former youth. That stranger in the mirror, oh,
that's you. Why do you look so blue?
Bridge
Maybe tomorrow you will make a change.
Maybe some day soon you will find the strength.
Chorus
Now your just a shell of your former youth. That stranger in the mirror, oh,
that's you. Why do you look so blue?
