A              D                       G                     A  
I'll be your mirror, reflect what you are in case you don't know
               D                     G                        A  
I'll be the wind, the rain and the sunset, the light on your door
                     D  
To show that you're home

[Chorus]
                     G        A         D  
When you think the night has seen your mind
                     G      A     D  
That inside you're twisted and unkind
                  G        A       D   
Let me stand to show that you are blind
                      Em                 G A
Please put down your hands 'cause I see you

[Verse 2]
A         D                         G                   A  
I find it hard to believe you don't know the beauty you are
           D                     G                    A       
But if you don't, let me be your eyes, a hand to your darkness
                D     
so you won't be afraid

[Chorus]
                     G        A         D  
When you think the night has seen your mind
                     G      A     D  
That inside you're twisted and unkind
                  G        A       D   
Let me stand to show that you are blind
                      Em                 G A
Please put down your hands 'cause I see you
