SWIMMING IN THE MIRROR
----------------------
by Louis Tillett



Intro.  Bm      (X10 bars) (slow loose tempo)



Verse 1.        |  Bm     D     |  E      A     |  Bm     D     |  E    F#m     |       (X2)


                |  E    F#      |  E    F#      |  E    F#      |


        Rolling backwards into space
        My mind is lost without a trace
        Particles as in values as in nothing left to do
        Exploring corners in my head
        Reflect the faces of the dead
        Spirits that I've never seen
        But dub the night go by
        Like a knife that cuts the sky
        And opens up my inner eye
        I can see there's nothin' left to do



Chorus. |  Bm     D     |  E      D     |       (X4)


        But swim around with you  (I'm swimmin' in the mirror)  (X3)



Verse 2.
        Oceans crossed and oceans past
        And trees and birds that turn to glass
        Painting pictures of the world that no one's ever seen
        Night lights and beauty bites
        And silver roosters in full flight
        Screaming, calling, climbing, falling
        Making lots of sound
        Butterflies with devil's eyes
        And rolling thunder in the skies
        Still I find there's nothing I can do



Chorus.


Solo.           Bm  (X16 bars)  +      Bm     D      E      A      Bm     D      E      F#



Verse 3.
        Go for a race in outer space
        And now who's won the mental race
        Sliding as I'm slipping as I'm swooping down and down
        Leaving corners in my head
        A scratching thought of torture
        Screaming, calling, climbing, falling
        Demons climbing stairs
        No more flying through the sky
        And gliding through my inner eye
        Still I find there's nothing I can do



Chorus.


Chorus. I'm swimming in the mirror      (X3)
