Looking Back At Me

 

C                     D                Em                       C
She sits alone wasted and says never again will I ever be that way
 
                        D
And the moonlight fading to her soul

                  Em               C
is waiting for a peace her heart can't pretend

                  D                       Em
Comes from reality open arms sometimes deceive

                   C
What closed eyes refuse to see

                    D                                G
Oh just look at you, standing there looking back at me

C                    D
As the sun is rising she thinks of new horizons

Em                 C
Along roads she's never seen

                       D
And the dream of laughter and love ever after

Em                C
Lie somewhere in between 

              D                             Em
These reality-closed arms refuse to see

                             C
What closed eyes refuse to believe

                       D                             G
Oh just look at you, standing there looking back at me

D                               Cadd9          G
Every morning she wakes to the writing on the wall 

D                                     Cadd9           G
And every time she reads the word I'm so tired of it all

         C                                      D
And she wants to go back to sleep for it's the dreams she keeps that

Em                         C
Helps her make it through reality

                       D                             G
Oh just look at you, standing there looking back at me

    Em             C
Oh no, won't you look at her

D                               G
Standing there looking back at me.
