Looking Glass

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

[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
