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

[Dm] Now for you and me, [C] it may not be [Bb] that hard to reach [F] our dream, but [Dm] that magic [C] feeling never seems to [Bb] last.
[F]
And [Dm] while the future's there [F] for [C] anyone to [Bb] change, still you know [F] it seems [Em] it [Dm] would be easier [F]
[C] sometimes to change [Bb] the past.
[F]
[Am] I'm just one or two years and a couple [Gm] changes [F] behind you, and [Am] my lessons had less pain and [C] heartache schools.
[A] Well [Bb] if you feel too free and you [C] need something [Dm] to remind [C] [Dm] you, [Gm] there's this loneliness [F] [Bb] springing up from your life [F] like a fountain [C] from [Dm] a [C] pool.

understanding [Db] and compassion [Dm] inside.
[F] [Bb] You could be [F]
laughing at me, [Dbm] [A] you've got the [Dm]
