                                "Mirage"
                            (Richie Cordell)

Intro:

	(cellos [eighth notes] w/trash organ & harp):

	A        D        E        A
	/ / / /  / / / /  / / / /  / / / /

Verse 1:

	A            D                            E
	I see you standing in the alleys and the hallways (wait a second!)
	        A
	You're gone now
	A          D                                    E
	I run to touch you but you vanish through the doorways
	    A
	And oh how
	 E
	Hard it is to live without you, I loved everything about you
	 G
	Now I know you're really gone, but my imagination
	    A
	Is so strong

Pre-chorus:

	                     C#m
	[1: That  2: Then] I see you comin' into view
	A          C#m
	  And your face is tellin' me
	F#m                   E
	Oh, yeah, oh, want to be by my side
	F#m                   E
	Oh, yeah, oh, now it finally died      [1: (wait a second!)
	                                        2: (here it comes again!)]

Chorus:

	A                         D        E
	  Mirage, that's all you are to me
	A                     D Bm  E
	  Mirage, something I only see

Verse 2:

	So I keep walking through the alleys and the hallways
	Where are you
	I keep remembering the kissing in the doorways
	The car, too
	How it all comes back to me, the movies every Saturday
	The place we used to go to eat, I want so much to have it
	Like it used to be

[repeat pre-chorus]

[repeat chorus]

2-bar break (backward cymbals)

Coda [repeat to fade; LP mix omits backing vocals]:

	 A         D              E                    A
	Just a mirage, (just a mirage) that's all you are to me
	 A         D              E                      A
	Just a mirage, (just a mirage) something that I only see
