Intro: A, A* x2
A A*
What do you see in flashes of light
when you open your eyes and the world is too bright?
A A*
Creatures from fantasy, or failures and flattering
memories, altered to paint you the heroine
Through the looking glass,
A*
keep an eye on your past
and keep moving forwards without turning back
A A*
But truth is distorted through mirrors and glasses
and I'm in your blindspot (Let the D ring out)
awaiting a glance
Since that night of soap opera romance
I can't share a single bed with
anybody else
And I wonder if you think about
just giving me a call and saying,
"Hey, remember me?
D (Let the D ring out)
Remember anything at all?"
'Cause I try
A* D
to live like there's living to do
But I'm waiting for an answer
A* D
and you're silent and too far away
Tell me why
A* D
I'm sitting here waiting for you
I've been sitting so long
A* D
I've forgotten the reasons you gave
When you walked away
A A*
Take a minute to open your eyes
while the bright lights have faded, and stars fill the sky
A A*
Look past the mirror, it's clouding your judgement
a constant obstruction that hides the horizon
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
So I'll be your teacher
if you'll take me back
All the prayers and the hope cannot save me
A* D
I'm holding on tight, but you're letting me go
So I'm trying to remember when
A*
you told me what love means
and that sometimes it's applicable (Let the D ring again)
to what you feel for me
'Cause I try
A* D
to live like there's living to do
But I'm waiting for an answer
A* D
and you're silent and too far away
Tell me why
A* D
I'm sitting here waiting for you
I've been sitting so long
A* D
I've forgotten the reason you gave
A*
When you walked away
A*
When you walked away
((Play this bit softly, maybe a few palm-mutes))
Still I try
A* D
to live like there's living to do
But I'm waiting for an answer
A* D
and you just don't give a fuck either way
((Back to normal strumming/volume))
Don't know why
A* D
I'm sitting here waiting for you
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
