C F C Am G C
[Verse 1]
C F C
Feels like someone's looking over my shoulder
Am F Em
I turn around and no one's there
C F C
The looking glass is looking older and older
Am F G C
Lately, I-I-I-I don't care
F Bb F
Looking glass can't you see what I've been through
Am F Em
Slowly giving myself away
F Bb F
Run from the past, run for the future
Am F G C
And miss the sweet smell of today
[Verse 2]
C F C [ F C ]
I play this song on my own piano [Note: I substitute “favorite git-box”]
Am Em F Em
Helps make sense of the shape I'm in
C F C
I open the doors on a cool rainy morning
Am F G C Bb
Songs come ri-i-ding on the wind
F Bb F
Take me away over clouds of sorrow
Am F Em
I guess I'll ride it one more time
F Bb F
Go through the deluge to get to the promise
Am F G C
Songs are rainbows in the sky
[Bridge]
Bb Am G Em F
Bb Am G F C F
[Verse 3]
C F C
Human longing inspiration
Am Em F Em
Woman painting canvas across the street
C F C
Got an old slouchy hat and a coat like Renoir
Am F G C
Think I'll bring her a cup of tea
F Bb F
Maybe light is the absence of shadow
Am F Em
Maybe shadow needs a place to sleep
F Am Bb F
Oh, we shine our light as much as we're going to
Am F G C
The rest the cats and angels keep
[Verse 4]
C F C Am Em F Em
C F C Am F G C
F Bb F
Me and this song we got a lot in common
Am F Em
Neither knows quite how to end
F Bb F
We just follow along like a leaf on the river
Am F G C
Believe we always can begin again
[Outro]
Bb Am G Em F
