[Verse 1]
G
Six years old
Bm
Staring at my nose in the mirror
F#m
Trying to dip my toes in the mirror
G
Thinking 'Who's that girl?'
G Bm F#m
And 'Does the mirror world go on forever?'
G
Carmenia Road
Bm
Sharpening the knives in the attic
F#m
Trying to watch cartoons through the static
G
Thinking where am I gonna be
F#m
If I'm ever twenty-three? Oh
[Chorus]
Gmaj7
I'm looking at a life unfold
Dreaming of the green and gold
D11
Just like the ancient stone
Every sunrise I know
G
Those eyes you gave to me
Gmaj7
That let me see
D11
Where I come from
[Verse 2]
G
Found an old friend
Bm
Meeting my guitar in the city
F#m
Feeling like a star in the city
G F#m
And suddenly it seems that I'm where I'm supposed to be, oh
Gmaj7
And now I'm fully grown
D11
And I'm seeing everything clearer
Gmaj7
Just sweep away the dust from the mirror
D11
We're walking hand in hand on the warm white sands
[Chorus]
G
I'm looking at a life unfold
Gmaj7
Dreaming of the green and gold
D11
Just like the ancient stone
Every sunrise I know
G
Those eyes you gave to me
Gmaj7
That let me see
D11
Where I come from
