Youre A Mirror I Cannot Avoid Chords

(ver. 2)
Bad Books
This is pretty close, the only part I am not sure about is the chord runs after 
the second and fourth lines in the chorus. 

(Signed to Favorite Gentlemen Label)

Capo 1

A                         E
I caught you caroling and giving grief
F#m                            C#m
Thought you were cannonballing after me
G#                          F#m G#  A       B
Now that your actions speak for themselves
               C#m
And wished you well

A                        E
But you're a mirror I cannot avoid
F#m                        C#m
Strung out and jittery and paranoid
G#                   F#m   G#   A      B
A leaky battery that can't keep charged
           F#m  A  B
Get in the car 

E                C#m
And say what you mean
  A         B       E    F#m
Explain yourself to me 
                    C#m                     B     C#m-A-B
and I'll try not to judge you more than you would
E      C#m     A       B      E     F#m
Let me help, I promise not to tell
              C#m              B      G#-B-C#m-G#-A
Like anyone's asking or anyone should

Break: (Same strum pattern as verse)
A, E, F#m, C#m, G# F#m-G#-A, B, C#m

A                          E
First time I met you I was full of fear
F#m                        C#m
Knew that eventually you'd disappear
G#                        F#m  G# A     B
Just when I needed you to burn to smoke
            F#m  A  B
And off you go

E         C#m        A   B       E    F#m
Just come back and peel away the mess
            C#m                  B     C#m-A-B
Lay here beside me and open your eyes
E       C#m       A    B    E      F#m
Take it back your dignity attacked
                 C#m                     B   G#-B-C#m-G#-A
Turn back to the person you tried to let die

A                              E
I caught you nesting with your antelope
F#m                      C#m
Glassy eyes from kissing poison frogs
G#                 F#m    G#  A     B
Becoming infinite against his couch
          F#m   A  B
Open your mouth 

E           C#m       A       B        E     F#m
and say the words you used to wish you heard
              C#m                  B     C#m-A-B
Back when you focused enough to be good


E             C#m       A       B        E     F#m
And if you're gone, an endless false alarm
                C#m                    B     G#-B-C#m-G#-A
Just remember I loved you as long as I could 

Outro: (Same strum pattern as verse)
A, E, F#m, C#m, G# F#m-G#-A, B, C#m
