D          E         A   B
Time takes its crazy toll 
D                 E      A  B
and how does your mirror grow
D                         E              A   B
you better watch yourself when you jump into it 
D                          E         A   B
'cause the mirror's gonna steal your soul 

B      A        G             A     B
I wonder how it came to be my friend 
B            A         G            A B A G
that someone just like you has come again 
B      A        G             A     B
you'll never, never know how close you came 
B            A         G                A B A G
until you fall in love with the diamond rain 


D          E         A   B
throw all his trash away 
D          E         A   B
look out he's here to stay 
D                   E                      A   B
your mirror's gonna crack when he breaks into it 
D                      E     A   B
and you'll never never be the same 

B      A        G             A     B
look into his eyes and you can see 
B            A         G                A B A G
why all the little kids are dressed in dreams 
B      A        G             A     B
I wonder how he's gonna make it back 
B            A         G                A B A G
when he sees that you just know it's make-belief 

D          E         A   B
blood crystalized as sand 
D          E              A   B
and now I hope you'll understand 
D                  E              A   B
you reflected into his looking glass soul 
D                     E          A   B
and now the mirror is your only friend
 
B      A        G             A     B
look into his eyes and you will see 
B            A         G                A B A G
that men are not alone on the diamond sea 
B      A        G             A     B
sail into the heart of the lonely storm 
B            A         G                A B A G
and tell her that you'll love her eternally 

D          E         A   B
time takes its crazy toll 
D          E         A   B
mirror fallin' off the wall 
D                   E                   A   B
you better look out for the looking glass girl 
D                       E         A   B
'cause she's gonna take you for a fall 

B      A        G             A     B
look into his eyes and you shall see 
B            A         G                A B A G
why everything is quiet and nothing's free 
B      A        G             A     B
I wonder how he's gonna make her smile 
B            A         G                A B A G
when love is running wild on the diamond sea
