The other tab on here is in the key of E, and it's alright, but the tone isn't as
nuanced as what Jon plays. Here it is, as he plays it, in the key of C, Capo4

Intro
F G C(add2 C)
You could stay a while longer
We could stay up and talk about last summer
We could go down to the water
Watch the sunset going under
It's not that I'm a stranger to lonely moments
I've had my share of those
Please don't go
Please don't leave me alone
F G C(add2 -> C)
A mirror is so much harder to hold
I could try and point the finger
Am Am/G F (G->C walk)
But the glass points in my direction
Sure you've got your sharp edges
But my wounds are for my own reflection
(/E)
You've got nothing I could ever hold against you
I've got fatal flaws to call my own
Please don't go
Please don't leave me alone
F G C(add2 -> C)
A mirror is so much harder to hold
I met a man who's looking for perfection
Said he'd never met a girl who's good enough
His eyes are getting old like they'd love to love again
Such a lonely man
G (G7)
Such a lonely man
I see him in my reflection
Am Am/G F (G->C walk)
Taking steps towards me these days
So I hold you that much closer
And pray we don't throw this away
It's not that I'm a man who couldn't love you
I know what these arms are for
Please don't go
Please don't leave me alone
A mirror is so much harder to hold
Am Am/G F (G->C walk)
A mirror is so much harder to hold
Please don't go
Please don't leave me cold
F G C(add2 -> C)
A mirror is so much harder to hold
