Photograph

[Fadd9]    Her na[A]me was wr[D]itten [C]on a p[F]hotogra[A]ph,
 [D]     [C]    R[F]ight ne[A]xt to he[D]r red[C], sunbu[Bb]rnt face,  [D]     [C]
It all had happened in that long tall grass,
About a mile from her old place,
[Abadd9]I can't remember h[Bb6]ow it started
[C#add9]And if it lasted t[Eb6]hat day in the [Fadd9]sun.

We said that we were going to study hard,
We held our books instead of hands,
She held a blanket over cans of beer,
I can't deny I was so full of fear.

It's just another story caught up
In another photograph I found.
And it seems like another person lived that life A great many years ago from now,
When I look back on my or[Ab]din[Bb]ary, ordinary [Eb]life, [Ebsus4]        [Ebsus2]               [Eb]
I see so much m[Ab]agi[Bb]c, though I missed it at the [Eb]time. [Ebsus4]        [Ebsus2]               [Eb]
When I look back on my or[Ab]din[Bb]ary ordinary, [Eb]ordina[Ebsus4]ry life[Ebsus2],      [Eb]
I see so much [Ab]mag[Bb]ic, though I missed it at the ti[Fadd9]me.

And there's the first time that I tried that stuff,
I think I look a little green,
I remember throwing up behind a bush,
And I found it hard to use my feet,
And who's that easily led
Little boy who's really off his head?

It was the same night that I kissed that girl,
The tall one with the auburn hair,
I remember laughing coz to kiss me,
She had to sit down on a chair!
She tasted like the schnapps she'd drunk,
And the cigarette she'd stolen from her mum.

And it's just another story caught up in another photograph I found.

When I look back on my ordinary, ordinary life,
I see so much magic, though I missed it at the time.
When I look back on my ordinary ordinary, ordinary life,
I see so much magic, though I missed it at the time.
