D                                           F#m
Can we believe all that we read all that we tell you?
             E                                 D
What you perceive to be the truth and what is real,
                                           F#m
Leaving you scraping at the bottom of the barrel,
             E                             Bm
Nothing is broken or forgotten that's the deal,

                                                F#m
And all your monsters in the night they come to life,
           E                                   Bm
So you embrace them in the hope that you'll survive,
                                 F#m
Intoxicated by the fear and the flames,
There's paranoia in your veins.

Chorus:
      F#m E
We're all
 D     E      F#m   E
lying to the mirror,
 D     E     F#m  E
Lying to ourselves,
 D     E       Bm
Hiding in the glitter,
 D     E     F#m   D A
Lying to the mirror.

It is the beauty of our flaws that will define us
So don't hold on to all the things you never had
Just remember, we're the good, the bad, the lovely
It is the sanity of life that makes us mad

So when the pain of your mistakes keeps you awake
And all your skeletons rattle in their chains
Intoxicated by the fear and the flame
There's paranoia in your veins

Chorus

D                                F#m                 E
Who you are is what you are and what you are is beautiful.
D                                F#m                 E
Who you are is what you are and what you are is beautiful.

We're all lying to the mirror
Lying to ourselves
Hiding in the glitter
Lying to

Chorus
