[Dm][D]

[Verse 1]
Well I've been [C]up all night
[G]Party- time wasting [D]is too much fun
Then [C]I step back thinking
Of [G]life's inner meaning
And [D]my latest fling
It's [C]the same old story
[G]All love and glory
[D]It's a pantomime
If you're [C]looking for love
In a [G]looking glass world
It's [D]pretty hard to find

[Verse 2]
Oh [C]mother of pearl
[G]I wouldn't trade you
For an[D]other girl
Di[C]vine intervention
Al[G]ways my intention
[D]So I take my [Dm]time[D]
I've been [C]looking for something
[G]I've always wanted
[D]Never mine
But now [C]I've seen that something
Just out [G]of reach, glowing
[D]Very Holy grail

[Verse 3]
Oh [C]mother of pearl
[G]Lustrous lady
[D]Of a sacred world
Thus, [C]even Zarathustra
Another[G]- time- loser
Could be[D]lieve in you
With [C]every goddess a let [G]down
Every idol a bring down
[D]It gets you[Dm] down
But [C]the search for perfection
Your [G]own predilection
Goes [D]on and on [C]and [D]on and on
Ca[C]nadian Club love
[G]A place in the country
Every[D]one's [C]ideal[D]
But you are [C]my favorita
And a [G]place in your heart dear
Makes [D]me feel more [Dm]real[D]

[Verse 4]
Oh [C]mother of pearl
[G]Wouldn't change you
For [D]the whole world
You're [C]highbrow, holy
With [G]lots of soul
[D]Melancholy shimmering
Ser[C]pentine sleekness
Was [G]always my weakness
Like [D]a simple tune
But [C]no dilettante
[G]Filigree fancy
Beats [D]the plastic you
Ca[C]reer girl cover
Ex[G]posed and another
[D]Slips right into- view

[Verse 5]
Oh, [C]looking for love
In [G]a looking glass world
Is [D]pretty hard for you
Few [C]throwaway kisses
The [G]boomerang misses
[D]Spin round and round
Fall on [C]featherbed quilted
[G]Faced with silk
Softly [D]stuffed eider down
Take [C]refuge in pleasure
Just [G]give me your future
We'll for[D]get your [Dm]past
[D]Oh

[Verse 6]
[C]mother of pearl
Sub[G]marine lover
[D]In a shrinking world
Oh [C]lonely dreamer
[G]Your choker provokes
A [D]picture cameo
Oh [C]mother of pearl
So [G]so semi- precious
[D]In your detached world
Oh [C]mother of pearl
[G]I wouldn't trade you
For an[D]other girl
