Intro: A (A4), A (A4), F#m, E, A  (2 times)

 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
 F#m
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
 F#m
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.
