          A                        D
I've been looking so long at these pictures of you  
       A                           D
That I almost believe that they're real
          A                              D

  A                      D
Remembering you standing quiet in the rain
     A                       D
As I ran to your heart to be near
       A                         D
And we kissed as the sky fell in holding you close
      A                         D
How I always held close in your fear

  A                     D
Remembering you running soft through the night
         A                       D
You were bigger and brighter and wider than snow
     A                            D
And screamed at the make believe Screamed at the sky
        A                      D
And you finally found all your courage

To let it all go

  A                    D
Remembering you fallen into my arms
A                            D
Crying for the death of your heart 
          A                      D
You were stone white So delicate Lost in the cold
         A                     D
You were always so lost in the dark
 
 
Verse 5:
  A                 D
Remembering you how you used to be
     A
Slow drowned You were angels
   D              A
So much more than everything 
 A                           D
Hold for the last time then slip away
        A                  D
quietly Open my eyes But I never see anything 
 
Chorus 1:
   E                       D
If only I'd thought of the right words
  E                          D
I could have held on to your heart
   E                       D
If only I'd thought of the right
        E                     D
words I wouldn't be breaking apart

All my pictures of you

      A                     D
But I never hold on to your heart
A                       D
Looking so long for the words to be true 
    A                     D
But always just breaking apart
