[Verse 1]
D               G               D                 G
In the morning on the train you sit and stare out 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 you're just a shell of your former you.

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


[Verse 2]
        D            G               D                    G
And the only man you ever loved, who thought was going to marry you

D             G             D      G           A
Died in a car accident when he was only twenty-two

A                                     D G D G
Then you just decided love wasn't for you.

A                                            D G D G
And every year since then has proved it to be true.


[Chorus]

C                 A       D            G
Now you're just a shell of your former you.

C                    A       D          G               A       D G D G
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]
C                  A       D            G
Well you're just a shell of your former you.

C                    A       D          G               A       D G D G x2 D
That stranger in the mirror, oh, that's you. Why do you look so blue?
