Lyrics

Through the look ing glass we go,

risk ing ev ’ry thing for (Bbm)what might be,

all the things you used to know

when your heart was young e (Bbm)nough to see,

(Fm)through your own re flec tion, (Db)past your im per fec tion.

(Eb)so in tim i dat ing.

(Gb)No more (Eb)hes i tat ing.

Through the look ing glass we go,

where the world is in re verse

and the end ing al ways (Eb)starts a new be gin ning.

Through the mir ror, e ven though

things might go from bad to worse,

close your eyes, let go and learn

to be lieve

so we can (CN.C.)pass

through the look ing (Absus4)glass.

Here we (Dbmaj7)come, so clear the (Eb)deck.

Bombs a (Dbmaj7)way and then look (Bbm)out be low.

Bombs a way, look out be low.

I am such a nerv ous (Eb)wreck.

Don’t know (Dbmaj7)up from down or (Bbm)friend from foe.

(Fm)Fear will make you brav er, (Db)brave e nough to save her.

(Eb)All of you and me then… (Gb)Get set: (Eb)One, two, three, and…

Through the look ing glass we go,

where the front is al ways back

and what’s left is right and (Eb)some times wrong is right er.

Through the mir ror, e ven though

night is day and white is black,

as my cra zy life be gins to ap proach

crit i cal (CN.C.)mass…

Through the look ing (B)Strange but true,

(C#m7)some thing’s chang ing deep in side me, (E)break ing (B)through,

(C#m7)wak ing what’s a sleep in side me.

(G)All at (D)once,

(Csus2)I know where it is I’m go ing to,

and what to (F#7sus4)do.

Through the look ing glass we go

towards the op po site of me,

where clock Yeah.

er’s ho urs (E)all run coun ter clock wise.

Through the look ing glass we go,

through the night mares in our way.

Through the mir ror we all (C)go…

Through the look ing glass!
