F
Mirror, mirror on the wall
   Am                    G
I saw another girl's reflection
F
Kingdoms rise and kingdoms fall
     Am                      G
But maybe that's just my projection
  F
I used to love those funny ways
   Am                       G
I thought I understood the real him
        F
They'd last forever, good old days
    C                     G
It took another me to perceive him

Chorus:
               F
If I can do it once, I can do it again
                   Am                 G
In orbit round the same star til we fly apart
          F
Feeling blue, and I'll do it again
                    Am               G
In orbit round the same star til we fall apart

I don't even see your face
(I don't even see your face)
You evaporated from my city
Maybe we were friendly once
(Maybe we were friendly once)
I think your overtures were laced with pity
Now I see another side (Now I see another side)
Now I am immune to his enchantment
He came in on a winter tide
(Came in on a winter tide)
He blew away, he took a warmer current

D                              G         D
You can hold me back, you can give me a list
            C G D
of complaints
                                   E
You suggest I find somebody for a remedy
C#m                      D         A
But there's nothing so wrong with me
Dm             F
You leave the room
             A
Suddenly the air is clear

Spirit, spirit speak to me
I'm looking for a voice to guide me
Cause I can feel your energy
(I can feel your energy)
Reveal yourself if you're beside me
Reveal every sleight of hand
(Feeling every sleight of hand)
And show me what the fates decided
I made a world on shifting sand
(Made a world on shifting sand)
We came apart, our worlds collided

Chorus:
If I can do it once, I can do it again
In orbit round the same star 'til we fly apart
Feeling blue, and I'll do it again
In orbit round the same star 'til we fall apart
