Chords with lyrics

🎸 Verse 1:
C#C#               F minorFm      D#D#
Tommy took a picture where I'm noticeably younger
C#C#
Skin a little softer
G#G#        A#mA#m
Slightly thinner frame


   C#C#                 F minorFm       D#D#
And contained between the corners I knew nothing of my failures
C#C#
Shortcomings were foreign
   G#G#          A#mA#m
We danced through all our days
     C#C#
Saw the joy in just a moment
F minorFm       D#D#
Joy is in the making
C#C#
Joy is in the movement
   G#G#     A#mA#m
Ever forward, ever to
C#C#             F minorFm      D#D#
So orient the portrait as a landscape composition, yeah
C#C#
 Turn it on its side
      G#G#        A#mA#m
And see if it makes sense to you

🎸 Refrain:
C#C#         C minorCm      A#mA#m
Folded, framed and slightly faded
  C#C#       C minorCm     A#mA#m
He said "I'll send another soon
   C#C#        C minorCm        A#mA#m
For now just take this one and share it
  C#C#       C minorCm     A#mA#m
I didn't take it just for you."

🎸 Interlude:
C#C# F minorFm D#D#

C#C# G#G# A#mA#m


🎸 Verse 2:
      C#C#              F minorFm       D#D#
There's a spirit in the stairwell and a ghost in the casino
      C#C#              G#G#        A#mA#m
Putting numbers up on Monday nights to make their losses back
    C#C#
And I tried my fate with fortune
F minorFm         D#D#
It was sold as such a sure thing
      C#C#
Until the bottom fell right out
      G#G#        A#mA#m
But I can learn to live with that
    C#C#             F minorFm      D#D#
It was perfectly positioned but we had to make adjustments
    C#C#              G#G#      A#mA#m
Had to sacrifice a flawless thing to see the human side
    C#C#                  F minorFm            D#D#
If the chances that you're given don't quite add up to what you've envisioned, well
  C#C#                 G#G#       A#mA#m
The worst thing that I ever did was to let a good shot die

🎸 Refrain:
C#C#       C minorCm      A#mA#m
Ana said that "time is finite"
     C#C#     C minorCm    A#mA#m
Like a kitchen hourglass tattoo
      C#C#           C minorCm           A#mA#m
And there's so much more than just catching the light right
   C#C#          C minorCm
So I stayed for more than just the view
  A#mA#m         D#D#
I stayed for more than just the view
  C#C#         C minorCm
I stayed for more than just the view
  D#D#         F minorFm
I stayed for more than just the view
  C#C#         C minorCm    D#D#
I stayed for more than just the view

🎸 Outro:
G#G#   C#C#    F minorFm D#D#
Close-captured moments
A#mA#m
Golden-hour greyscale bliss
G#G# C#C#   F minorFm  D#D# A#mA#m
One million ways to balance buildings on my fingertips
G#G# C#C#    F minorFm D#D#
I spent a lifetime
A#mA#m
Leaning into what I've missed
G#G# C#C#   F minorFm  D#D# A#mA#m
One million ways to balance buildings on my fingertips
