Verse
[C]
There sits a man
[E7]
He chats with old photographs
[Fmaj7]
Waiting for them to talk back
[C]
He yearns to know what they'd say
[E7] [Fmaj7]
Are they really as happy as their smile portrays?
[Dm7] [F/C]
Oh, maybe it's true (ooh)
[Bb] [C] [Fmaj7]
Cause they don't know as much as me and you do
Pre-Chorus
[C] [E7]
Eroding our years away
[Fmaj7]
Asking the man in the frame
[C] [E7]
Well, maybe I've gone insane
[Fmaj7]
But he's telling 'bout that day
Chorus
[C]
Saying, "How come I could hardly see
[Fmaj7]
The water flowing down the stream"
[C]
"But the path that led me to the creeks
[Fmaj7]
Cemented in my memory"
[C] [Fmaj7] [C]
Oh, we were dancing under Willow Trees, singing "I need to get there to feel warm"
([C])
("Well, I learnt son learnt son")
[Fmaj7] N.C. [C]
"Once you feel the heat, you'll miss the cold"
[E7] - [E] - [F] - [C]
Verse 2
([C]) [Em]
Well, I'm a plant in every photo
[C7] [Fmaj7]
Yet I never synthesize with the daily light
[C]
So, I keep begging him for more answers
[Em]
And he says, "Boy, you had the chances"
[C7]
"You'll be fine"
[Fmaj7]
While feedin' me those same lines
Chorus
[C]
Saying, "How come I could hardly see

The water flowing down the stream"

[Fmaj7]
Cemented in my memory"

When you wish through the winter, you will quickly come to find
[Fmaj7] [Fm]
You were livin' in the picture, your spring self will idolize
[C]
"So don't be scared of the cold air"
[E]
Said the film as he faded goodbye
[Fmaj7] [Fm]
"Oh, the path you paved to the pictures is what you must romanticize"

Ohh, Ohh, Ohh
