Intro: A, A*  x2

 A                  A*
What do you see in flashes of light
                     D
when you open your eyes and the world is too bright?
 A                           A*
Creatures from fantasy, or failures and flattering
             D
memories, altered to paint you the heroine
 A                     
Through the looking glass,
 A*
keep an eye on your past
 D
and keep moving forwards without turning back
      A                           A*   
But truth is distorted through mirrors and glasses
     D
and I'm in your blindspot                 (Let the D ring out)

awaiting a glance


 E                      G
Since that night of soap opera romance
 D                   
I can't share a single bed with
 A
anybody else
 E
And I wonder if you think about
                 G
just giving me a call and saying,
 A
"Hey, remember me?
          D                                (Let the D ring out)
Remember anything at all?"

        A
'Cause I try
                       A*      D            
to live like there's living to do
 A                           
But I'm waiting for an answer
             A*                D
and you're silent and too far away
         A
Tell me why
                   A*          D
I'm sitting here waiting for you
  A 
I've been sitting so long
                   A*           D
I've forgotten the reasons you gave
                 A
When you walked away


 A                      A*
Take a minute to open your eyes
            D
while the bright lights have faded, and stars fill the sky
 A                           A*
Look past the mirror, it's clouding your judgement
     D
a constant obstruction that hides the horizon
 A                   
You're much better off
 A*                      D 
looking back once in a while
                                       
than fixing your thoughts on the future
         A                    A*
'cause every mistake is a lesson worth learning
     D
So I'll be your teacher

if you'll take me back

  A                                       
All the prayers and the hope cannot save me
 A*                            D
I'm holding on tight, but you're letting me go
   A          
So I'm trying to remember when
 A*
you told me what love means
    D
and that sometimes it's applicable           (Let the D ring again)

to what you feel for me                      
 
 
       A
'Cause I try
                       A*      D            
to live like there's living to do
 A                           
But I'm waiting for an answer
             A*                D
and you're silent and too far away
         A
Tell me why
                   A*          D
I'm sitting here waiting for you
  A 
I've been sitting so long
                   A*           D
I've forgotten the reason you gave
                 A    A*   D
When you walked away
                 A    A*   D
When you walked away
 

((Play this bit softly, maybe a few palm-mutes))

         A
Still I try
                       A*      D
to live like there's living to do
   A                       
But I'm waiting for an answer
               A*                D
and you just don't give a fuck either way


((Back to normal strumming/volume))

            A
Don't know why
        A*             D
I'm sitting here waiting for you
 A 
I've been waiting too long
   A*                          D
I just wish you'd turn round so you'd see
 A                                          (Let the A ring out)
I'm walking away
