[Intro]
 
E  F#m  x4
 
 
[Verse 1]
 
          A
I've been looking so
              D
long at these pictures
              A
of you That I almost
believe that they're
D              A
real I've been living
so long with my
D
pictures of you
       A
That I almost
believe that
    D
the pictures are
          A   D A D
All I can feel 
 
 
[Verse 2]
 
  A
Remembering
You standing
D
quiet in the rain
     A
As I ran to your
            D
heart to be near
       A
And we kissed as
the sky fell in
D
Holding you close
      A
How I always held
              D
close in your fear
 
 
[Verse 3]
 
  A
Remembering
            D
You running soft
through the night
         A
You were bigger
and brighter and
D
whiter than snow
     A
And screamed at
the make believe
 D
Screamed at the
sky And you
A
finally found
         D
all your courage
              A D A D
To let it all go 
 
 
[Verse 4]
 
  A
Remembering
You fallen
D
into my arms
A
Crying for the
death of your
D
heart You were
 A
stone white
So delicate
D
Lost in the cold
         A
You were always
               D
so lost in the dark
 
 
[Verse 5]
 
  A
Remembering
        D
You how you
used to be
     A
Slow drowned
You were angels
   D
So much more than
           A
everything Hold
for the last time
      D
then slip away
        A
quietly Open my
           D
eyes But I never
see anything
 
 
[Chorus 1]
 
   E
If only I'd thought
       D
of the right words
  E
I could have held
           D
on to your heart
   E
If only I'd thought
       D
of the right
        E
words I wouldn't
be breaking
 D
apart All my
            A D A D A D A D
pictures of you 
 
 
[Verse 6]
 
A
Looking so long at
      D
these pictures of
          A
you But I never
hold on to your
D     A
heart Looking so
             D
long for the words
to be true But
A
always just
          D
breaking apart
                  A D A D A D A D
My pictures of you
 
 
[Interlude]
 
A  Bm  A/C#  D
A/C#  D  E  D/F#
 
 
[Chorus 2]
 
          A
There was nothing
in the world
       Bm
That I ever wanted
             A/C#
more Than to feel
               D
you deep in my heart
          A/C#
There was nothing in
the world That I
D
ever wanted more Than
   E
to never feel the
          D/F#
breaking apart All
               A
my pictures of you

you can't really be "wider than snow".. even though some sites on the interwebs have this wrong. it is indeed correctly sung "whiter than snow". yer welcome. :)

I love and appreciate this. My two cents is the D is too bright for the cure. Lift the pinky when you play the D and make is an Asus.
