Staying with you gave us something to do

You couldn't tell right from wrong if you tried

G#G# - c#      F#F#		   G#sus4G#sus4 - G#G#
	To thee I dedicate this photograph
E MajorE		 BB		  F#F#
	I'll even sign it "love to you" again

	And when it's faded and forgotten in some book
	BB	 A augmentedA	G#G#		F#F#		E MajorE
You'll sometimes look, you'll sometimes look, you'll sometimes look

Solo - not perfect, but you get the idea. The bends in the first part are
very subtle. There is some kind of harmonic at the end of the second line
that I haven't tabbed in.

Verse 3

It's a game, it's a game, no let's call it a shame
