Lời & hợp âm

[Verse 1]
[E]The stars [B]in the heavens still [A]shine
[B]up above [E]me:
how [A]lovely [G]they'd seem
if you were with me
[Bm]but [G]you're gone thro[A]ugh
the looking- glass
and [G]I am left to pass these nights a[F#]lone.

[Verse 2]
I'm [E]lost, I'm [B]dumb, [A]I'm blind,
[B]I a[E]m drunk with sadness,
[A]sunk by madness,
the [G]wave overwhelms me,
the [Bm]mir [G]ror repels me,
[A]the echo of your laugh
drift[G]s through the looking- glass
and I am [F#]alone.

[Verse 3]
No [Bm]friendship, [F#]no comfort,
no [Bm]future, no [A]home,
[G]the past lingers [F#]with me:
you're all the [E]love I've ever [C#]known
and [E]without you [G]I'm noth[F#]ing
but [Bm]empty [F#]and silent,
re[Bm]flecting on [F#]all that I've lost.
[D]I let you[A] slip away so soo[G]n.[F#]
Can [Gdim]you

[Verse 4]
[F#]hear me? This is my song:
[G]I a[Cm]m dying; [G]you are gone.[Cm]
These word[E]s

[Verse 5]
are [B]not enough
to save [A]my soul,
[B]they [E]just mock me from [A]the mirror.
I'm [G]cold and I'm yearning,
I've [Bm]told [G]you I'm burning,
my [A]eyes can't stand the light...
like a [G]stray dog in the night
I'll shuffle [F#]off alone.
We [Bm]all make

[Verse 6]
[F#]our futures
[Bm]but I have lost [A]mine;
I'm [Bm]hoping [F#]for a miracle
[Bm]but [F#]finding no sign...
[D]The stars in their [F#]con stellations,

[Verse 7]
each [G]one just sadly flickers
[F#m]an d falls...
[G]without you they mean [F#]nothing [F#]at a[Bm]ll.
