[D]
[Bm] [A]
[G] [D]
[Bm] Looking through [A] some photographs [G] I found [D] inside a drawer, I [Bm] was taken by [A] a photograph [G] of you.
[D]
There [B] were one or two [A] I know that you [G] would have liked a little [D] more, but [Bm] they didn't show [A] your spirit quite as [D] true.
[G] [D]
You [Gbm] were turning round to see who [D] was behind you, and [Gb] I took your childish laughter [Gbm] by [D] surprise.
[A] [Gbm] And [G] at the moment that I came over [D] I [Bm] happened to find you, [Em] there was just a [G] trace of sorrow in [D] your eyes.
[A] [Bm] Now the things that [A] I remember seem [G] so distant and so [D]
small, [Bm] though it hasn't [A] really been that long a [G] time.
[D]
[Bm] What I was seeing [A]
wasn't what was [G] happening at all, [D]
[B] although for a [D] while I passed it seemed to [G] climb.
[D]
When [Gbm] you see through love's illusions you realise [D] that you're in danger,
[Gbm] and your perfect lover just looks like a perfect [A] fool.
[D] So [G] you go running off in search [A] of a perfect [Bm] stranger, [Em] while the loneliness [D] [G] seems to spring from your life [D] like a fountain full [Bm] of [Dbm]
[Bm] [A] food.
[D] Fabulous sorrow, [Bbm] sorry [Bm] goodbye, [A] [G] you've known [D] that hollow sound [Bb] of your own [Bm] stinting flight.
[A] [G] You've had [D] to hide [Bb] sometimes, now you're [Bm] alright, [D] it's good to see you [G] smile and face the light.

[Bm] Now for you and me it [A] may not be [G] that hard to [D] reach our dream, [G] [D]
but [Bm] that magic [A] feeling never seems to [G] last.
[D] [Bm]
And while the future's [A] scared from everyone's change, [G] still you [D] know it seems it [Bm] would be easier [A] sometimes to [D] change [G] the past.
[D] I've [Gb] missed one or two years and a couple of [Gbm] [D] changes behind me, [Gbm] in my lessons at last pain and [A] heartless school.
[Gbm] Well [G] if you're fit to breathe you need something [Bm] to remind [A] [Bm] you, that [Em] this love is [D] [G] springing up from your life [D] like a [A] fountain full of [Bm] [A] [Bm] food.

understanding [Bb] and come back [Bm] and fight.
