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

[Bb] [F]
for you [Dm] and me [C] it may not [F] be [Bb] that hard to reach [F] our dreams
But [Dm] that magic [C] feeling never seems to [Bb] last
[F] [Dm] And while the future's [C] there for anyone to [Bb] change
Still you [F] know it seems [Dm] it would be easier [C] sometimes to change [Bb] the past
[F]
[A] I'm just [G] one or [Am] two years and a couple of [F] changes behind
In [Am] my lessons at love's pain and [F]
[C] heartache's too
[Bb] Where if you feel too free and you [C] need something [Dm] to remind
[Gm] There's this loneliness [Bb] springing up from your [F] life like a fountain from a [Am] pool
[Bb]
Fountain of [F] sorrow,
[Db] fountain [Dm] of [C] life
[Bb] You've known [F] that hollow sound [Db] of your own [Dm] steps in flight
[F]
[Bb] You've had [F] to hide sometimes, [Db] but now [Dm] you're alright
[F] And it's good to see your [Bb] smiling face from [F] life

[F] [Bb] Fountain [F] of sorrow, [Db]
fountain of [Dm] [Am] life
[Bb] You've known [F] that hollow sound [Dbm] of your own steps [Dm] in flight
[C] [Bb]
You've had [F] to struggle, [Bb]
you've [Dm] had to fight
[C] [Bb] To keep [F] understanding [Db] and [Dm] compassion in sight
[C] [Bb] You could [F] be a [Db]
[Dm] [Am] liar, [Bb] but you go [F] on smiling
[Db] So clear [Dm] and so bright
