                            (Richie Cordell)

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
