[Verse]
Dm                   C             Bb             F     
Looking through some photographs I found inside a drawer
      Dm         C                 Bb
I was taken by a photograph of you ■ 
F            Dm           C                        Bb             F   
■ There were one or two I know that you would have liked a little more
         Dm               C               Bb  
But they didn't show your spirit quite as true


[Chorus]
F          Am      Am7       Am          F         
■ You were turning around to see who was behind you
      Am7                            C        C7
And I took your childish laughter by surprise ■ 
           F      Bb             C           Dm      
And at the moment that my camera happened to find you
          Gm7    Gm       Bb             F   
There was just a trace of sorrow in your eyes


[Verse]
        Dm            C             Bb            F    
Now the things that I remember seem so distant so small
          Dm            C                Bb   F
Though it hasn't really been that long a time ■
Dm                C               Bb               F
What I was seeing wasn't what was happening at all ■
Dm                       C                Bb    F
Although for a while our path did seem to climb ■


[Chorus]
         Am                                          F     
When you see through love's illusions there lies the danger
         Am7                                     C    C7
And your perfect lover just looks like a perfect fool ■ 
C A7        Bb                                 Dm      
■ So you go running off in search of a perfect stranger
          Gm7        Gm       Bb                   
While the loneliness seems to spring from your life
       F        C      Dm7  Bb
Like a fountain from a pool ■ 


[Verse]
            F                  Dm    C Bb
Fountain of sorrow fountain of light ■ ■ 
                  F                                 Dm    
You've known that hollow sound of your own steps in flight
Bb               F                                 Dm   
■  You've had to hide sometimes but now you're all right
         F                Bb           F      
And it's good to see your smiling face tonight

[Verse]
        Dm            C               Bb                F     
Now for you and me it may not be that hard to reach our dreams
         Dm            C              Bb  
But that magic feeling never seems to last
F               Dm             C                    Bb                F    
■ And while the future's there for anyone to change still you know it seems
            Dm     C                       Bb  
It would be easier sometimes to change the past


[Chorus]
F          A7                               Am      F         
■ I'm just one or two years and a couple of changes behind you
   Am A7                Am7                C      C7
In my lessons at love's pain and heartache school ■ 
             Bb                         C            Dm        
Where if you feel too free and you need something to remind you
             Gm7        Gm Gm7       Bb               
There's this loneliness ■  springing up from your life
       F               C    Dm7 Bb
Like a fountain from a pool ■   ■ 
            F                  Dm    Bb
Fountain of sorrow fountain of light ■ 
                  F                    A7           Dm    
You've known that hollow sound of your own steps in flight
Bb               F                                 Dm   
■  You've had to hide sometimes but now you're all right
         F                Bb           F      
And it's good to see your smiling face tonight

■ ■  You've had to struggle you've had to fight ■ 
        F                 Dm                  C
To keep understanding and compassion in sight ■


[Chorus]
Bb           F                            Dm  Bb   
■  You could be laughing at me you've got the right
           F                          Bb    
But you go on smiling so clear and so bright
