Intro:  G  C  G  D  G 
 
Verse 
I can't [G] stand to see, a good man go to [C] waste 
One who [G] never combs his hair or shaves his [D] face 
A [G] man who leans on wine, over love that's told a [C] lie 
Oh it [G] tears me up to [D] see a grown man [G] cry 
 
Chorus 
So [G] I never go around [C] mirrors 
I can't [G] stand to see me.....without you by my [D] side 
[G] I never go around [C] mirrors 
'Cause [G] I've got a [D] heartache to [G] hide 
 
Instrumental (same chords as verse)

I can't [G] stand to see me....without you by my [D] side 
[G] I never go around [C] mirrors 
'Cause [G] I've got a [D] heartache to [G] hide 
and it [G] tears me up to [D] see a grown man [G] cry
