Looking Back At Me
View chords used in this chart
C D Em C
She sits alone wasted and says never again will I ever be that way
D
As the moonlight's fading - her soul
Em C
is waiting for a peace that she can't pretend
D Em
Comes from reality - open eyes, sometimes, they don't see
C
What her heart just can not believe
D G
Won't you look at her, standing there looking back at me
Cadd9 G Cadd9 G Cadd9 G
C D
As the sun is rising she thinks of new horizons
Em C
Along roads she's never seen
D
Where the dream of laughter and love ever after
Em C
Lie somewhere in between
D Em
This reality - closed arms refuse to see
C
What closed eyes refuse to believe
D G
Won't you look at her, standing there looking back at me
Cadd9 G Cadd9 G Cadd9 G
D Cadd9 G
Every morning she wakes to the writing on the wall
D Cadd9 G
And every time she reads those words, "I'm so tired of it all"
C D
And she wants to go back to sleep 'cause dreams she can keep - they
Em C
Help her make it through reality
D G
Oh just look at her, standing there looking back at me
Em C
Oh no, won't you look at her
D G
Standing there looking back at me.
