 I’ve been looking  so long at these pictures  of you
 that I almost believe that they’re real
 I’ve been living so long with my pictures of you
 that  I almost  believe  that the pictures are all I can feel
  Remembering  you standing quiet  in the rain
 as I ran to your heart to be near
 and we kissed as the sky fell in holding close
 how I always held close in your fear
  remembering you running soft through the night
 you were bigger and brighter and wider than snow
 and screamed at the make-believe screamed at the sky
 and  you finally found all  your courage  to let it  all go
  remembering  you fallen into  my arms
  crying for the death of your heart
 you were stone white so delicate lost in the cold
 you were always so lost in the dark
  remembering you how you used to be
 slow drowned you were angels so much more than everything
 oh hold for the last time then slip away quietly
  open my eyes but I never see anything
 If only  I’d thought of the right  words
 I could have held onto your heart
 if only I’d thought of the right words
 I wouldn’t  be breaking apart  all my pictures  of you
looking  so long at these pictures  of you, but I
 never hold onto your heart
 looking so long for the words to be true, but
always  just breaking apart  my pictures of you
/E  (5 fr) /F(7
 fr)
 there was nothing  in the world that I ever  wanted more
 than to feel  you deep in my heart
 there was nothing  in the world that  I ever wanted more
 than to never  feel the breadking apart  my pictures of you
/E  (5 fr) /F(7
 fr)

I’ve been lo[A]oking so long at these      p[D]ictures of you
that I     almost believe that they’re  real
I’ve been   living so long with my    pictures of you

th[D]at I      a[A]lmost believ[D]e that the     pictures are all I can feel
        Remem[A]bering you standing   quiet[D] in the rain
as  I      ran to your heart to be    near
and we  kissed as the sky fell in    holding close
how I   always held close in your   fear
        remembering you running    soft through the night
you were bigger and brighter and   wider than snow
and    screamed at the make-believe screamed at the sky
a[A]nd you finally found al[D]l your       coura[A]ge to let i[D]t all go

         reme[A]mbering   you   fallen   int[D]o my arms
          crying for the death of your  heart
you were stone white so delicate        lost in the cold
you were always so lost in   the       dark
         remembering you how         you used to be
slow   drowned you were angels so    much more than everything
oh        hold for the last time then   slip away quietly
          open my eyes but I          never see anything

If o[E]nly I’d thought of the       [D]right words
I could have held onto your    heart
if only I’d thought of the       right words
I w[E]ouldn’t be breaking       apa[Bm7]rt      all my pictu[A]res of you

[A]looking so long at these  pi[D]ctures of you, but I
never hold onto   your   heart
looking so long for the   words to be true, but
[A]always just breaking         apa[D]rt my pictures of you      [A]

there was no[A]thing in the world that I ev[Bm7]er wanted more
than to  f[A/C#]eel you deep in my hea[D]rt
there was n[A/C#]othing in the world t[D]hat I ever wanted more
than to n[A/E]ever feel the breadking apart[D/F#] my pictures of you
