Deep Dark Truthful Mirror

from Spike

tabbed by ah-HA! Pronoun trouble

 

 

Some of the chord shapes I've tried to graph out, and the basic

chord shapes and barre chord shapes I didn't, but if you need any

of them graphed out, just e-mail me.

 

 

G Bm

One day you're gonna have to face

 

 

Am G

A deep dark truthful mirror

 

 

And it's gonna tell you things that I still

 

 

C D

Love you too much to say

 

 

G Bm

The sky was just a purple bruise

 

 

Am G

The ground was iron

 

 

And you fell all around the town

 

 

C G C

Until you looked the same

 

[chorus]

 

G B

The same eyes, the same lips

 

 

Em C

The same lie from your tongue trips

 

C/B D/F#

C Am C C/B Am D/F# G ----------- -----------

Deep dark, deep dark truthful mirror | | | | 1 | | | | | | |

C Am C C/B Am D/F# G

Deep dark, deep dark truthful mirror

 

G Bm

Now the flagstone streets where the newspaper shouts

 

 

Am G

Ring to the boots of roustabouts

 

 

And you're never in any doubt

 

 

C D

There's something happening somewhere

 

 

G Bm

You chase down the road till your fingers bleed

 

 

Am G

On a fiberglass tumbleweed

 

 

You can blow around the town

 

 

C G C

But it all shuts down the same

 

 

[chorus]

 

 

Bm Em C C G (strum down)

So you bay for the boy in the tigerskin trunks

 

 

C C G

They set him up, set him up on a stool

 

 

Bm Em C C G

He falls down, he falls down like a drunk

 

 

C C G

And you drink till you drool

 

 

C Bm G

And it's his story you'll flatter

 

 

C Bm Em (I think I play this as G again)

You'll stretch him out like a saint

 

 

C Bm Em

But the canvas that he splattered

 

B/D#

C D B/D# -----------

Will be the picture that you never paint | | | | | |

[instrumental break] Em C G

 

 

C Am C C/B Am D/F# G

Deep dark, deep dark truthful mirror

 

 

C Am C C/B Am D/F# G

Deep dark, deep dark truthful mirror

 

G Bm

A stripping puppet on a liquid stick

 

 

Am G

Gets into it pretty thick

 

 

A butterfly drinks a turtle's tears

 

 

C D

But how do you know he really needs it

 

 

G Bm

Cos a butterfly feeds on a dead monkey's hand

 

 

Am G

Jesus wept, he felt abandoned

 

 

D

You're spellbound, baby, there's no doubting that

 

 

C G C

Did you ever see her stare like a Persian cat

 

 

[chorus]
