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

DmDm C majorC Bb majorBb FF
Now for you and me it may not be that hard to reach our dreams
DmDm C majorC Bb majorBb FF
But that magic feeling never seems to last
DmDm C majorC Bb majorBb
And while the future's there for anyone to change, still you know it's
FF
seems
DmDm C majorC Bb majorBb FF
It would be easier sometimes to change the past
A minorAm FF
I'm just one or two years and a couple of changes behind you
A minorAm C majorC C/Bb
In my lessons at love's pain and heartache school
Bb/FBb/F DmDm
Where if you feel too free and you need something to remind you
G minorGm Bb majorBb
There's this loneliness springing up from your life
FF C/EC/E DmDm C/EC/E DmDm C majorC
Like a fountain from a pool
Bb majorBb F/CF/C A/C#A/C# DmDm (C majorC)
Fountain of sorrow, fountain of light
Bb majorBb F/CF/C A/C#A/C# DmDm (C majorC)
You've known that hollow sound of your own steps in flight
Bb majorBb F/CF/C A/C#A/C# DmDm
You've had to hide sometimes but now you're all right
FF
And it's good to see your smiling face tonight

Bb majorBb F/CF/C A/C#A/C# DmDm (C majorC)
Fountain of sorrow, fountain of light
Bb majorBb F/CF/C A/C#A/C# DmDm (C majorC)
You've known that hollow sound of your own steps in flight
Bb majorBb F/CF/C A/C#A/C# DmDm (C majorC)
You've had to struggle, you've had to fight
Bb majorBb F/CF/C A/C#A/C# DmDm (C majorC)
To keep understanding and compassion in sight
Bb majorBb F/CF/C A/C#A/C# DmDm (C majorC)
You could be laughing at me, you've got the right
Bb majorBb F/CF/C A/C#A/C# DmDm (C majorC)
But you go on smiling so clear and so bright
|Bb majorBb |F/CF/C |A/C#A/C# |DmDm (C majorC)| rep & fade
