Intro

A B5 E5 (E F# Ab)

Verse 1

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

Pre-Chorus 1

It’s not that I’m a stranger to lonely moments

I’ve had my share of those

Chorus

Please don’t go

Please don’t leave me alone

A B5 E5 (E F# Ab)

A mirror’s so much harder to hold

Verse 2

I could try and point the finger

But the glass points in my direction

(A B Eb) E5 B/D#

Sure, you got your sharp edges

But my wounds are from my own reflection

Pre-Chorus 2

You’ve got nothing I could ever hold against you

I got fatal flaws to call my own

Chorus

Bridge

I met a man who’s looking for perfection

Said he never met a girl who’s good enough

His eyes are getting old

Like they’d love to love again

Such a lonely m---an

B5 B(no3)

Such a lonely man, eww eww eww

Verse 3

I see him in my reflection

C#m7 B5 A (A B Eb)

Taking steps towards me these days

So I hold you that much closer

And pray we don’t throw this away

Pre-Chorus 3

It’s not that I’m a man who couldn’t love you

I know what these arms are for

Chorus

Please don’t go

Please don’t leave me alone

A mirror’s so much harder to hold

A mirror’s so much harder to hold

(A B Eb) E5

Please don't go

Please don’t leave me cold

A B5 E5 (E F# Ab)

A mirror is harder to hold
