Intro: A  F#m  E A  (2x) 

 A 
Was it a huntsman or a player 
 A 
That made you pay the cost 
 F#m 
That now assumes relaxed positions  
 E                     A 
And prostitutes your loss?  
 A 
Were you tortured by your own thirst 
 A 
In those pleasures that you seek 
 D 
That made you Tom the curious  
 E                     A 
That makes you James the weak? 
 E                                A 
And you claim you got something going 
 E                   A 
Something you call unique  
 D                             A 
But I've seen your self-pity showing 
 E                               A 
And the tears rolled down your cheeks. 

A 
Soon you know I'll leave you  
A 
And I'll never look behind 
F#m  
'Cos I was born for the purpose  
E                     A 
That crucifies your mind.  
A 
So con, convince your mirror. 
A 
As you've always done before  
D 
Giving substance to shadows  
E                       A 
Giving substance ever more. 
E                                    A 
And you assume you got something to offer  
E                  A 
Secrets shiny and new 
D                            A 
But how much of you is repetition 
E                               A 
That you didn't whisper to him too.
