[Verse 1]
E E4 E E4 E E4 G#m
I sit here at my window, I see life as I'd like it to be,
Bm7 Bm9 Bm7 A Am E A
But it don't see me, so I'll just go on sitting,
E A E A G#m
You might call it quitting, hoping that the bad times will all pass,
F#m7 B7 E E4 E E4 E E4 E
But they won't, 'cause my world's just made of glass!
[Verse 2]
E E4 E E4 E E4 G#m
Re - member in the children's story, 'Tell me, mirror, who's fairest of all?'
Bm7 Bm9 Bm7 A Am E A
Well, then you'll re - call... that the Queen went on be - lieving,
E A E A G#m
We call it de - cieving, thinking that her looks were just top class,
F#m7 B7 E E4 E E4 E E4 E
But they weren't, 'cause your world's just made of glass!
[Bridge]
F#m G#m * A B
In a bus, in a plane, in a car, in a train,
* A * Am E
Or in our homes, it's really just the same,
F#m G#m * A B
We're always looking out with a puzzled kind of grin,
* A * Am B B7
But, per - haps, we'd all do better looking in!
[Verse 4]
E E4 E E4 E E4 G#m
The next time you go to your window, don't just sit there, just open it wide,
Bm7 Bm9 Bm7 A Am E A
Put your head out - side, then you won't be just sitting,
E A E A G#m
Folks won't call it quitting, hoping that the bad times will all pass,
F#m7 B7 E E4 E E4 E E4 E E
But they will, for your world's not made of glass!
