Four Mirrors
Loudon Wainwright III
[Intro] / / A7sus4 I’ve slumped in your chair Tossed and turned in your bed A7sus4 Lurked in your lair I have lived in your head Where others were closer No one is nearer As I glimpse you in me A7sus4 In the hallway mirror A7sus4 I’ve grabbed from the plate And I’ve stabbed with a knife A7sus4 On day one my first date I slept with your wife My common-law stepmom I desire and fear her I compare you to me A7sus4 In the full-length mirror A7sus4 Sharing hair forehead lines Scowling worrying thinking A7sus4 With a penchant for white wines A disposal toward drinking You had ’em I got ’em I move my face nearer Broken blood vessels A7sus4 In the bathroom mirror A7sus4 And your doormen all know me It’s not so bizarre A7sus4 So it shouldn’t throw me To go move your car But the ghost of your father He couldn’t be clearer He’s there where he haunted you A7sus4 The rearview mirror
