Objects In The Mirror

11.28.76
    C                            G               D
The day that I was born, right before my parents split
           C                G
And it was hard, I know, on them
            C                  G  D
When you're young, raising children


[Chorus]
   C       G                D       G
As we look back through the looking glass
        C      G           D
Visions closer than they appear
         C       Em          Am          G               C
Stubbing toes on toys, those days you'll wish were still here
D                               C     G
  They'll be objects in the mirror


[Verse 2]
C     G
1.28.86
         C                      G          D
Our eyes glued to school's only television set
       C               G
No one told us, now we knew
      C                   G     D
Every dream does not come true


[Chorus]
   C       G                D       G
As we look back through the looking glass
        C      G           D
Visions closer than they appear
     C         Em      Am    G           C
Even when they say the sky above will be clear
D                              C      G
  There will be objects in the mirror

4.1.2003
    C                        G             D
The day I said goodbye to my favourite refugee
      C           G
If he came to us again
         C            G D
Would we even let him in?

5.13.2012
     C                    G              D
Last day I remember momma acting like herself
         C               G
When the angels took her home
      C          G D
I was never so alone


[Chorus]
   C       G                D       G
As we look back through the looking glass
        C      G           D
Visions closer than they appear
            C       Em        Am      G        C
When you're holding on to the hope of one more year
D                              C     G
  We're just objects in the mirror

10.2.17
C                           G               D
Terror in Las Vegas and the ghost of Tom Petty
          C               G
All these big guns in bad hands
       C                   G D
Cannot bring back one good man


[Chorus]
   C       G                D       G
As we look back through the looking glass
        C      G           D
Visions closer than they appear
   C       Em         Am   G               C
If fear itself is the only thing we should fear
D                                  C    D   C   D
  What of these objects in the mirror?

12.31.17
   C                          G                   D
Surrounded by my family, 12 o'clock on New Year's Eve
         C            G
Throwing paper on the fire
        C               G
Nothing else that we require
        C               G
Cause a heart with no regrets
      C              G   D
Is as good as it can get


[Chorus]
   C       G                D       G
As we look back through the looking glass
        C      G           D
Visions closer than they appear
           C    Em           Am       G       C
There's so many things to be grateful for, my dear
D                             C
  All these objects in the mirror
D                   C    D
  Objects in the mirror
