 chords at the start are palm muted until chorus)
 Man, we used to be brothers
 Superheroes and warriors
Cowboys  and Indians, train  drivers
Everything  rolling through the endless summers
 But everything changes
 You got married, had children
 And I don't  have your number
 The one  I can remember is that place  you used to live with your parents
 open strumming)
 But in the stillness  of the moment  it takes  for a Polaroid picture
 To capture our faces forever and
 The world  has turned a touch  on its axis
 And the only  thing certain  is
 That everything changes
 PM)
 And they closed the Astoria
 At the end of last summer
 The place  we earned our pedigrees
Scene  of our victories
Sanctuary  in the centre of London
 Now they're building a railway
 To track the vanquished to Versailles
 And the singalongs  go on
 But they're singing  different songs
 In rooms  that we don't know on the other side of the city
 open)
 But in the stillness  of the moment  it takes  for a Polaroid picture
 To capture our faces forever and
 The world  has turned a touch  on its axis
 And the only  thing certain  is
 That everything changes
 So honey I just need  a little time
 To take  a little time today
 To savour  all the triumphs and tragedies
 Before they slip away
 Before they slip away
 Let go  of the little distractions
 Hold close  to the ones that you love
 Because we won't  all be here this time next year
 So while you can  take a picture of us
 Let go  of the little distractions
 Hold close  to the ones that you love
 Because we won't  all be here this time next year
 So while you can  take a picture of us
 (open)
 Take a Polaroid picture
 Take a Polaroid picture
 Take a Polaroid picture
 Take a Polaroid picture
 Oh, please take a Polaroid picture
 Take a Polaroid picture
 Take a picture of us  to show
 We all want you to see  where the time  goes
 open picking)
 So in the stillness  of the moment
 Make sure  you take a Polaroid picture
 And keep it with you forever to
Remind  yourself that everything  changes
 But there was this one time
 Man there was this one time
 When things were okay...
 And that's it. Sorry for any mistakes but it sounds ok to me! :)
