Life Size Mirror - No Use For a Name

Tabbed by: Kieran
Tuning: standard

This is based on Kyle's Life Size Mirror (ver 1) tab on here but I've tried to work out 
full (tonal) chords. I've changed them in one or two spots, and there are a few places I 
not 100% sure about, but I hope it is a good start (it's my first tab).

Dm             Bb              F              C
She was done before the start, always mending broken hearts
Dm             Bb              F              A
Making others miserable not knowing who she's hurting
Dm                 Bb           F            C
Father said, "This day will be, one for everyone to see"
Dm                 Bb               F                 A7
Is it true you'll follow suits and have you learned a thing?

            Bb             F                C                Dm
It's just a selfish way to go, it's safe to say she'll never know
           Bb              G                C             C
For every person there's a whole life story waiting to be told
            Bb         F                  C               Dm
When she is happy it's ok, but then these people start to fade
                               Bb                   C
Then we'll just watch her self-destruct as she gets old

Dm           Bb               F                      C
She put up defensive shields, to walk through all of life's minefields
Dm             Bb            F                A
All defined by make-up and a car behind she's hiding
Dm             Bb          F                 C
"Father do you have to go, left me questions I dont know"
Dm            Bb             F                 A7
Any answer or even close the life time lie was true

            Bb               F                 C              Dm
She's gonna move on with her life, and take it one heart at a time
              Bb            G               C                 C
And watch the little girl inside her wave behind as she moves on
              Bb                F                 C           
      Dm
But with this black heart she decides, who she'll take in and shove aside
          Bb                             C
Until the day she sees that everyone has gone


(punctuated strumming for first line of bridge)

Bb              C               A                  Dm
Getting used to people leaving, thinking true love is deceiving
Bb                   F             A
Soon she'll know how lonely it can be


(Don't strum just here)
vvvvvvvvv
           Bb               F              C                   Dm
Now was it really worth the pain? A couple pills make her feel sane
                Bm              G               C              C
While she lives out the story written for the part she is to play
             Bb               F                     C           Dm
With so much shame for her to hide, there's no more dignity, no pride
                Bm                           C
Then there will only be dark in her light of day

Bb                        C                F          
     C
And she will only see a reflection, of her father's rejection
G                                         A                   (-> intro)
Nothing will change until she breaks this life, this life-size mirror
