Deep Dark Truthful Mirror Elvis Costello
[G]One day you're gonna h[Bm]ave to face
A d[Am]eep dark truthful m[G]irror [G/C] [G]
[D] And it's gonna tell you things that I still
L[C]ove you too much to s[D]ay
[G] The sky was just a p[Bm]urple bruise
[Am] The ground was [G]iron [G/C] [G]
[D] And you fell all around the town
Unt[C]il you looked the s[G]ame
[Cborus:]
[C] [C] [G] The same eyes,[B] the same lips
[Em] The same lie from y[C]our tongue trips

C Am C C/B Am D/F# G [Borns]
Deep dark, deep dark truthful mirror
[C]Deep [Am]dark, [C]deep [C/B]dark [Am]truth[D/F#]ful m[G]irror
[C] [C] Now the fl[G]agstone streets where the n[Bm]ewspaper shouts
[Am] Ring to the boots of ro[G]ustabouts [G/C] [G]
[D] And you're never in any doubt
There's s[C]omething happening somewh[D]ere
You ch[G]ase down the road 'til your f[Bm]ingers bleed
[Am] On a fiberglass t[G]umbleweed [G/C] [G]
[D] You can blow around the town
But [C]it all shuts down the s[G]ame
[Cborus]
[C] [C] [G] The same eyes,[B] the same lips
[Em] The same lie from y[C]our tongue trips

Deep dark, deep dark truthful mirror
[C]Deep [Am]dark, [C]deep [C/B]dark [Am]truth[D/F#]ful m[G]irror
So you b[Bm]ay for the boy in the t[Em]igerskin trunks
[C] [C] Th[G]ey set him up,[C] s[C]et him [G]up on a stool
[Bm]He falls down, he falls d[Em]own like a drunk
[C] [C] And you dr[G]ink till you drool [C] [C] [G]
[C]And it's h[Bm]is story you'll fl[G]atter
[C]You'll str[Bm]etch him out like a s[G]aint
[C]But the c[Bm]anvas that he spl[Em]attered
W[C]ill be the picture that [D]you never p[C#dim]aint
Em C G [Borns]

Deep dark, deep dark truthful mirror
[C]Deep [Am]dark, [C]deep [C/B]dark [Am]truth[D/F#]ful m[G]irror
[G] A stripping puppet on a l[Bm]iquid stick
[Am] Gets into it pr[G]etty thick
A b[D]utterfly drinks a turtle's tears
But h[C]ow do you know he really n[D]eeds it
'C[G]os a butterfly feeds on a d[Bm]ead monkey's hand
[Am] Jesus wept, he f[G]elt abandoned
You're sp[D]ellbound, baby, there's no doubting that
(that's where it's at)
Did you [C]ever see a stare like a[D] Persian c[G]at
[Cborus]
[C] [C] [G] The same eyes,[B] the same lips
[Em] The same lie from y[C]our tongue trips
