[Bb] [F] .
[Dm] Looking through [C] some photographs [Bb] I found inside [F] a drawer .
[Dm] I was taken by [C] a photograph of [Bb] you.
[F] .
[Dm] There were one or two [C] I know that you would [Bb] have liked a little [F] more.
But [Dm] they didn't show [C] your spirit quite as [Bb] true.
You [F] .
[Am] were turning round to see who [F] was behind you.
[Bb] And [Am] I took your childish laughter by .
[C] surprise.
[A] And [Bb] at the moment that my [C] camera happened [Dm] to find you.
[C] [Dm] .
[Gm] There was just a trace [Bb] of sorrow in [F] your eyes .
[Dm] Now the things that I [C] 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 [Bb] seem to climb.
[F] But [Am] when you see through love's illusions there [F] lies the danger.
And [Am] your perfect lover just looks like a perfect [C] fool.
[A] So you [Bb] go running off in search of a [C] perfect [Dm] stranger .
[Gm] Love alone in [Dm] this [Bb] seems to spring from your life [F] like a fountain [C] from [F] a [C] pool.
[F] .

[Bb] life.
You've known [F] that hollow sound [Db] of your own steps in [Dm] flight.

But [Dm] that magic [C] feeling never seems to [Bb] last.
[F] .
And [Dm] while the future's [C] there for anyone to [Bb] change.
Still you know [F] it seems [Dm] it would be easier [C] sometimes to change [Bb] the past.
[F] .
[Am] I'm just one or two years and a couple of changes [F] behind me .
In [Am] my lessons at love's pain and [F] heartache [C] school .
[Bb] Where if you feel too free and you [C] need something [Dm] to remind you .
[Gm] There's this loneliness [A] [Bb] springing up from your life [F] like a fountain from a [C] [Dm] pool .
