(Richie Cordell)
Intro
(cellos [eighth notes] w/trash organ & harp):
[A] / / / / [D]/ / / / [E]/ / / / [A]/ / / /
Verse 1
[A] I see you [D]standing in the alleys and the [E]hallways (wait a second!)
You're [A]gone now
[A] I run to [D]touch you but you vanish through the [E]doorways
And [A]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
Is [A]so strong
Pre-Chorus
[1: That 2: Then] I [C#m]see you comin' into view
[A] And your [C#m]face is tellin' me
[F#m] Oh, yeah, oh, want to [E]be by my side
[F#m] Oh, yeah, oh, now it [E]finally died [1: (wait a second!)
2: (here it comes again!)]
Chorus
[A] Mirage, that's all you [D]are to me[E]
[A] Mirage, something I [D][Bm]only [E]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 Chorus
2-bar break (backward cymbals)
Coda [repeat to fade; LP mix omits backing vocals]:
[A] Just a [D]mirage, (just a [E]mirage) that's all you [A]are to me
[A] Just a [D]mirage, (just a [E]mirage) something that I [A]only see
