Intro: Am
Am F/A Am
Pictures of you, it's just pictures of you, through the bedroom door
F/A Am
With that sly little grin, says you want it some more
F/A Am
But there's people around, and they don't look so nice
F/A Am
Tell me why don't they move, this has happened before
Adim Am /C /B Am Am
This has happened before, it's just pictures of you, in darkness
Am F/A Am
Pictures of you, I'd been sleeping for hours, when you came to my house
F/A Am
You'd been lost in a crowd, said you had to get out
F/A Am
You were covered with tears and you said you were sad
Adim
So you wanted to play, yes, you wanted to play
F/A Am
Well you touched me and smiled, as you let yourself go
F/A Am
Oh, but something was wrong, 'cause your touch was so cold
F/A Am
Like you'd been in the ground and you asked if you could stay
Adim Am /C /B Am Am
And I said no, it's just pictures of you, in darkness
Am F/A Am
Pictures of you, in that lovely white dress, oh your skin was so white
F/A Am
With the moon in your eyes, on that cold winter night
F/A Am
When your lips were so soft, that I thought they would melt
F/A Am
And the sound of your breath and the way that you felt
Adim
And I said yes, and I said yes
F/A Am
It's just pictures of you with a knife in your hand
F/A Am
With a rose in your teeth lying nude in the sand
F/A Am
It's just pictures of you, standing high on a cliff
F/A Am
With the wind in your hair, and a smile on your lips
F/A Am
And your eyes were so wild, when you started to laugh
F/A Am
Blending in with the wind, sounded just like a scream
Adim Am /C /B Am Am
Why do pictures of you, come to me when I dream, in darkness
Am Am Am
Pictures of you, pictures of you, pictures of you
