D MajorD   C majorC  FF   C majorC
Ohhh ohhh
D MajorD      G+G      E minorEm C majorC      D MajorD
  I took an hundred and ten pictures of you
G+G       C majorC      A minorAm        D MajorD
Put them all around me and wondered what to do
    D MajorD     E minorEm    C majorC       D MajorD
Like a temple in memory, a shrine in your name
  G+G       C majorC     D MajorD       FF
To days I don't remember, to nights I can't reclaim
     G+G     E minorEm     C majorC       D MajorD
I took a part of my life, about eighteen years on.
G+G        C majorC      A minorAm       D MajorD
Pulled it all to pieces and I tried to make a song
    D MajorD        E minorEm     C majorC       D MajorD
With a groove you could dance to, a tune you could hum
 G+G      C majorC     A minorAm       FF
I sang to my reflection, looking for the one
A minorAm           D MajorD   C majorC
Man sees the boy in his eyes. Boy sees the man, singing:

Chorus:
Bb majorBb     F minorFm
Shine on I thought you were gone
G#G#            Eb MajorEb
I thought you gave in, deserted me long ago
Bb majorBb        F minorFm
Shine on, you're somebody's son
G#G#              Eb MajorEb         Eb MajorEb
You're laughing again, you're letting the feeling grow

D MajorD     G+G     E minorEm     C majorC     D MajorD
 I took a hold of myself. It's not how I planned
G+G        C majorC     A minorAm      D MajorD
Pulled myself together and acted like a man
    D MajorD      E minorEm     C majorC     D MajorD
I got a face I must keep up, responsible me
 G+G       C majorC       D MajorD     FF
I keep it on my shoulders for everyone to see
  A minorAm           D MajorD   C majorC
But man sees the boy in his eyes, boy sees the man, singing:

Rpt Chorus:

BB      F# minorF#m
Letting the feeling grow,
A augmentedA     E MajorE
giving the years back to me
BB      F# minorF#m
Letting the whole world know
A augmentedA       E MajorE
 that somebody in there loves me

[play the verse but only humming not with words]

A minorAm            D MajorD   C majorC           FF
Man sees the boy when he cries, boy sees the man clinging to him
A minorAm           D MajorD   C majorC
Man sees the boy in his eyes, boy sees the man, singing:

Rpt Chorus:
