Verse 1
D                    G
In the morning on the train

D                   G
sitting and staring at the rain 

D        G               A  
or bury yourself in your books.

A                                                  D G D G
Don't look at no strangers, no don't give them any looks. 

D                                G
Well you ask yourself why you're so afraid, 

D                             G   
why you hesitate when someone asks your name. 

D                                 G             A
But they'll come too close if you tell them the truth. 

A                                     D  G  D  G
Who's to say they want something from you?


Chorus
C                          A     D              G   
Well your just a shell of your former youth. 

C                                A       D          G                      
That stranger in the mirror, oh, that's you. 
                               D G D G
Why do you look so blue?

Verse 2
Then the only man you ever loved, he thought was going to marry you, died in a car 
accident when he was only twenty-two. Then you just decided love wasn't for you. 
And every year since then has proved it to be true.

Chorus
Now your just a shell of your former youth. That stranger in the mirror, oh, 
that's you. Why do you look so blue?

Bridge
Em    A                       D               G
Maybe tomorrow you will make a change.

Em    A                      D                      G
Maybe some day soon you will find the strength.

Chorus
Now your just a shell of your former youth. That stranger in the mirror, oh, 
that's you. Why do you look so blue?
