While window [G] shopping through the past, [C] I ran across a [F] looking glass, [C] reflecting moments
[G] remaining in a burned out [C] light.
[G]
Tragic magic, prayers of passion, [C] stay the same through [F] changing fashion, [C] it frees my
mind like [F] water on a winter's [C] night.
[D] Spend most of me youth out [G]
home [C] for [G] cruising, [D] and all I got for food is rocks in [Bb] my pockets
and dirt in my shoes, [C] so goodbye non [G]-believer.
[C] Don't you know that [F] I hate to leave here [C] so long, babe, [G] I got the flashback [C] blues.

Photographs show the laughs [C] recorded in [F] between the bad [C] times, happy [G] sailors dancing on a sinking [C] ship.
Cloudy skies and [Bm] death-proof flight, [C] waving goodbye with [F] tears in my [C] eyes.
Well sure I made it, [G] but you know it was a hell of a [C] trip.
[D] Spend most of me youth out [G] home for cruising, [D] and all I got for food is [G] rocks in my pockets
and dirt in my shoes, [C] so tan-tan, [G] what a grief, yes.
[C] But how much more [F] I hate to leave you now [C] so long, babe, [G] I got the flashback [C] blues.
