[E] [A]
[E]
[C#m] [B]
[A] [E]
[C#m] Looking through some [B] photographs [A] I found inside [E] a drawer, [C#m] I was taken by a photograph of [A] you.
[E]
[C#m] There were one or two I [F#] know that you would have [A] liked a little more, [E]
but [C#m] they didn't show your [F#]
spirit quite as true.
[A] [E]
You [G#m] were turning round to see who was behind you, [E]
and [G#m] I took your childish laughter by [B] surprise.
[Bm]
And at [A] the moment that my camera happened [C#m] to find you, [F#m] there was just a trace of sorrow [A] in [E] your eyes.
[C#m] Now the things that I [F#] remember [A] seem so distant and [E] so small, [C#m] though it hasn't really [F#] been that long a [A] time.
[E]
[C#m] What I was seeing [F#] wasn't what was happening [A] at all, [E] although [C#m] for a while our [B] paths did seem to [A] climb.
[E]
But when you [G#m] see through love's illusions, there lies the danger, [A]
[E] and your [G#m] perfect lover just looks like a perfect [B] fool.
[Bm] [G#] So you go [A] running off in search of a [C#] perfect [C#m] stranger, while the [F#m] loneliness seems [A] to spring from your life like [E] a fountain [D#m] from a pool.
[E] [A]
Fountain of [E] sorrow, [Cm] [C]
fountain of life, [C#] [A]
you've known that [E] hollow sound [C] of your own steps in [C#m] flight.
[A]
You've had to [E] hide sometimes, [C] but now you're [C#m] alright, [E] it's good to see your [A] smiling face tonight.
[A]
[G#] [E] [C#m]

[C#m] [B]
[F#] [E]
Not for [C#m] you and me, [B] it may not be that [A] hard to reach our [E] dreams, but [C#m] that magic feeling [F#] never seems to [A] last.
[E]
While the [C#m] future's there for [F#] anyone to [B] change, [A] still you know it [E]
seems it would be [C#m] easier [B] sometimes to change the [A] past.
[E]
I'm [G#] just one or two [G#m] years and a couple of changes [E] behind you, and [G#m] my lessons that love's pain and heartache [B] school.
[C#]
Well [A] if you feel too free and you need something [C#m] to remind you, [F#m] there's this loneliness [A] springing up from your life [E] like a fountain [B] from a pool.
[C#m] [A] Fountain of [E] sorrow, [Cm] fountain of [C#m] life, [C#] [A] you've known that [E] hollow sound [F#] of your own [Cm] steps in flight.
[C#] [A]
You've had to [E] hide sometimes, [C] but now you're [C#m] alright, [E] it's good to see your [A] smiling face tonight.

[F#]
[A] You've had to [E] struggle,
[Cm] and you've had [C#m] to fight,
[F#] [A] to keep [E] understanding [C] and compassion in [C#m] sight.
You [A] could be [E] laughing at me, [C] you've got the [C#m]
right, [A] but you go on [E]
smiling, [D#] so clear and [C#m] so bright.
