Instrumental intro.:

G
Hey there red-eyed face in the mirror
                           C
Now what do you have to say?
G
The sun has come up and she stood you up
A
It aint been your night and it don't look to 
          D - D7
be your day

C                       B7
But you'll say it's no fault of your own
           Emin        D           C
And you're better off letting her go.
B7                            Emin
And before you turn away, the things you
                      A
don't say will be the thoughts that you'll 

carry deep in your heart long after she's 
          D - D7
forgotten you.

G                   B7
Hey there tired old face in the mirror
Emin          D                  C
There aint no way you're getting 'round
    B7                        Emin
You broke every rule and that girl played 
you a fool
A     
She said that she wanted you in a sweet voice that haunted you and before it ever started she told you that you were all 
      D - D7
through.

But you'll say that was a lie
Cause she had a thing for you all along
You wrote her a song and that girl sang along
On a night just like last night and it felt all right till the words you had just wouldn't come.

Solo: Piano over verse 1, guitar over chorus

But you'll say, you don't understand
She really meant every word that she said.
You're not being fair, you weren't even there when she said all those things that made my heart sing and got me staying up
late and playing my songs and feeling this way at the dawn.
