[C] While window shopping [G] through the [C] past, I ran [F] across a [C] looking glass, reflecting moments [G] [C] remaining in a burned out light.

[C] Tragic [G] magic, prayers of [C] passion, stay the [F] same through changing [C] fashion, it frees my [G] mind like water on a [C] winter's night.
[D] Spent most of me youth [G] out home boat cruising, [D] and all I got to prove [G] is rocks in my pockets and dirt in my [C] shoes, so goodbye [G] non-believer.

[C] that how [F] much more I hate to [C] leave you now so [G] long, babe, I got [C] the flashback blues.
