[G] [D]
[Bm] [F#m]
[A] [G] [D]
I [Bm] was taken by [A] a photograph [G] of you.
[D]
That [B] will one look to, I [A]
know that you would have [G] liked a little [D] more.
[Bm] But they didn't show your [A]
spirit quite as true.
[D] [G] [D]
You [F#m] were turning around to see who [D] was behind you.
And [F#m] I took your childish laughter by [D] surprise.
[A]
[F#m] And [G] at the moment the last camera [D] happened [Bm] to find [F#m] you.
[Bm]
That was [Em] just a [D] trace [G] of sorrow on [D] your eye.
[Bm] Now the things that [A] I remember [G] seem so distant and so [D]
small.
[Bm] Though it hasn't been [A]
within that long a [G] time.
[D]
[A] [Bm] What I was [A] seeing wasn't what was [G] happening at all.
[D]
[Bm] Although for a while [A] our paths did seem [G] to climb.
[D]
[F#m] But when you see two loves illusions there lies [D] a danger.
[F#m] And your perfect lover just looks like a [A] perfect [B] fool.
[A]
[F#m] So [G] you go running off in search of a [Bm] perfect stranger.
[F#m]
[Bm] [Em] While the lonely [F#m] [G] seems to spring from your life like [A] a fountain from a
[Bm] pool.
[G] [D] Fountain of sorrow, [A#m] [Bm] fountain of life.
[A] [G] You've known [D] that hollow [A] sound [A#] of your own steps [Bm] in flight.
[D] [G] You've had [D] to hide sometimes, [A#] now you're [Bm] alright.
[D] And it's good to see your [G] smiling face [D] tonight.
[G] [D]
[E] [G]

[D] [G]
[D] [Bm]
[A] [D] [G]
[D] [Bm]
[A] [D]
[Bm] Now for you and me [A] it may not be that [D] hard to reach our dreams.
But [Bm] that magic [A]
feeling never seems to [G] last.
[D]
[Bm] And while the future's [A] there for anyone to [G] change.
Still you know it [D] seems [Bm] it will be easier [A]
sometimes to change [G] the past.
[D]
[F#m] I'm just one of two years and a couple of changes [D] behind you.
And [F#m] my lessons at a lost pain and [A] heartache school.
[Bm] Where [G] if you feel too free and you need something [D] to [Bm] remind [F#m] [Bm] you.
That [Em] just [D] loneliness [G] springing up from your life [D] like a [A] fountain from a pool.
[Bm] [A] [G] Fountain [D] of sorrow, [E] [A#] fountain [B] of [A] life.
[G] You've known [D] that hollow sound [A#] of your own steps [Bm] in flight.
[G] You've had [D] to hide sometimes, [A#] now you're [Bm]
alright.
[D] And it's good to see [G] your smiling face tonight.

fountain [B] of life.
[A] [G]
You've known [D] that hollow sound [E]
of your own steps in [Bm] flight.
[G]
You've had [D] to struggle [A#]
and you've had [Bm] to fight.
[A] [G]
To keep [D] understanding [A#]
and compassion [Bm] in sight.
[D] [G]
You could [D] be let me in, [A#]
[E] you've got [Bm] the right.
[G]
But you go [D] on smiling [A#]
[A#m] so clear [Bm] and so [G] bright.
