Intro: A, A, F#m, E, A  (2Xs)

 A
Was it a huntsman or a player
 A
That made you pay the cost
 F#m
That now assumes relaxed positions 
 E                     A
And prostitutes your loss? 
 A
Were you tortured by your own thirst
 A
In those pleasures that you seek
 F#m 
That made you Tom the curious 
 E                     A
That makes you James the weak?
 E                                A
And you claim you got something going
 E                   A
Something you call unique 
 D                             A
But I've seen your self-pity showing
 E                               A
And the tears rolled down your cheeks.

A
Soon you know I'll leave you 
A
And I'll never look behind
F#m 
'Cos I was born for the purpose 
E                     A
That crucifies your mind. 
A
So con, convince your mirror.
A
As you've always done before 
F#m 
Giving substance to shadows 
E                       A
Giving substance ever more.
E                                    A
And you assume you got something to offer 
E                  A
Secrets shiny and new
D                            A
But how much of you is repetition
E                               A
That you didn't whisper to him too.
