This Side Of The Looking Glass chords by Peter Hammill

Chords with lyrics

G#G#     Eb MajorEb       C#C#     G#G#
The stars in the heavens still shine up above me
    C#C#     BB
How lovely they'd seem if you were with me...
        EbmEbm       C#C#
But you're gone through the looking-glass
   BB                Bb majorBb
And I am left to pass these nights alone
   G#G#    Eb MajorEb    C#C#      G#G#         C#C#
I'm lost, I'm dumb, I'm blind. I am drunk with sadness, sunk by madness
    BB           EbmEbm
The wave overwhelms me, the mirror repels me
    C#C#     BB                        Bb majorBb
The echo of your laugh drifts through the looking-glass and I am alone

  EbmEbm    Bb majorBb        EbmEbm    C#C#     BB      Bb majorBb
No friendship, no comfort, no future, no home. The past lingers with me:
        C#C#       D MajorD      C#C#     BB Bb majorBb
You're all the love I've ever known and without you I'm nothing
   EbmEbm     Bb majorBb   EbmEbm      Bb majorBb    EbmEbm
But empty and silent reflecting on all that I've lost
EbmEbm    C#C#      BB    Bb majorBb
I let you slip away so soon

Bb majorBb  BB  Bb majorBb  G#G#   Bb majorBb BB Bb majorBb G#G#
Can you hear me? This is my song:
BB   E minorEm   BB     E minorEm
I am dying, you are gone.

    G#G#      Eb MajorEb          C#C#
These words are not enough to save my soul
     G#G#        C#C#
They just mock me from the mirror
   BB             EbmEbm
I'm cold and I'm yearning, I've told you I'm burning
  C#C#
My eyes can't stand the light...
     BB               Bb majorBb
Like a stray dog in the night I'll shuffle off alone
  EbmEbm       Bb majorBb    EbmEbm   C#C#
We all make our futures but I have lost mine
  EbmEbm    Bb majorBb        EbmEbm    Bb majorBb
I'm hoping for a miracle but finding no sign...

   BB         Bb majorBb           BB          C#C#
The stars in their constellations, each one just sadly flickers and falls
  BB          Bb majorBb    EbmEbm
Without you, they mean nothing at all.
