(same chords as verse 1)

(C#m C#7sus4 C#m C#sus2 etc, with G# on the end)

What started as a private life is no more than a show
Libidos in a Speedo as the good times start to go
Take me back through history so I can re-arrange
The details of your meeting it's the only way I'll change
Wrestling with my angel all throughout the night
He couldn't defeat my will and so he told me I was right
Show me my subconscience as you know I gotta find				
The balance of my spirits and the essence of my mind

Aadd9 (x02420@1)         F#11Luck (2x2100@1)don't last forever
You know that this ain't right
You do not deserve her
So why d'you hold her tight?
If I could stop this somehow
I'd pray for good advice
But I guess I'm just a lonely man
Better go think twice


C#m B A G#
She is so beautiful x4

Aadd9 (x02420@1)               Badd11
You thought she was an angel
Aadd9 (x02420@1)            Badd11
God chose her from above
Aadd9 (x02420@1)              Badd11
And planted her right next to you
Aadd9 (x02420@1)         Badd11
It's a mirage of love
Aadd9 (x02420@1)             Badd11
But when she breaks a mirror
Aadd9 (x02420@1)                 Badd11
You can break up as good friends
Aadd9 (x02420@1)              Badd11
Just don't tell your wife and kids
Aadd9 (x02420@1)          Badd11
The cycle starts again

C#m B A G#
Just a mirage of love (x4)
It's a mirage of love (x4)

End on C#m
