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

[E] Now [C#m] for you and me, [C#] it may not be [A] that hard to reach [E] our dream, but [C#m] that magic [B] feeling never seems to [A] last.
[E] While [C#m] the future's there [B] for anyone to [A] change, still you know [E] it seems it [C#m] would be easier
[B] sometimes to change [A] the past.
[E]
I'm [G#m] just one or two years in a couple of changes [E] behind [A] you, [E]
in [G#m] my lessons that love's pain and [B] heartache school.
[D#]
[G#] [C#] Well if [A] you've felt you're free and you [B] need something [C#m] to remind you, [F#m] there's this loneliness [A] springing up from your life [E] like a [B] fountain from a pool.
