When a man of my [F] age shaves his face in the morning,
[Bb] Who is it stares back [Ebm] and greets him?
The ghost of his father, long dead all these years,
Or [Ab] the boy that he was, still wet in the ears,
[F] Are the terrible sum of [Bbm] all of his fears,
In the [E] eyes of this stranger [F] who meets him.
[Bbm] So his glance rarely strays from [F] his chin or his jawline,
[Bb] To face up to the truth of his [Ebm] soul.
It's the eyes he avoids, so afraid to acknowledge,
[Ab] Something strange, unexpected, [F] out of control.
[Bbm] There are times when a man [Db] needs to brave his reflection,
And face what he sees [Bbm] without fear.
It [Gb] takes a man to accept his [Ebm] mortality,
[C] Or be surprised by the presence of a tear.
[Ebm] It was only an arrangement, [Bb] a practical arrangement,
[Em] I forgot the first [F] commandment of the realist's handbook.
Don't be [Ebm] fooled by illusions, [Bb] you created yourself,
[A] And fall in love with [C] someone, [F] when she loves [Bb] someone else.
[Bbm] [F] Like a covering of [Fm] snow [Bbm] on a winter's night,
It [Ebm] glistens and [Ab] it sparkles [Db] in the moonlight,
[C] But it's gone by [F] the morning, how [Ab] quickly it [Gm] melts.
You [Gb] still love her, [C] but [F] she loves [Bbm] someone [Gb] else.
[Bb]
[C] [Fm] And where does that leave you, you [Gm] self-styled [C] man of vision?
[Ab] You feel stupid, you feel angry, [F] are you losing your mind?
To [Bbm] destroy the one she loves, [C] does that become your [F] mission?
[Db] Like a pantomime villain, [Bbm] with [Bb] an axe to grind?
[Ebm] To regain your self-respect, [F] hold your head up like a [Bb] man,
Use [Gb] the ice around [Ebm] your heart before it melts.
[Bbm] But you're not fooling anybody, [Ebm]
[Eb] you're only fooling yourself.
[Bb]
[Gb] Like a covering of snow on [Gbm] a winter's night,
[Em] It [A] glistens and it sparkles in the [D] moonlight,
[Db] But it's gone by the [Gb] morning, how [A] quickly [Abm] it melts.
You still [G] love her, [Db] [Gb] but she loves someone [G] else.

[Em] It [A] glistens and it sparkles in the [D] moonlight,
[Db] But it's gone by the [Gb] morning, how [A] quickly [Abm] it melts.
You still [G] love her, [Db] [Gb] but she loves someone [G] else.
