Photographic Memories

Biography:

Steam Powered Giraffe (SPG) is an American steampunk musical comedy project formed in San Diego in 2008, self-described as "a musical act that combines robot pantomime, puppetry, ballet, comedy, projections, and music". Created and led by identical twins David Michael Bennett and Isabella "Bunny" Bennett, the act combines music and improvisational comedy on-stage, although their studio works focus almost solely on music.

Steam Powered Giraffe has its own fictional mythology

[Verse 1]
Em Am7
Hope is very hard when
Em Am7
Hope is very hard when we
G Fmaj7
put ourselves out to sea

Em
We've taken all the right steps
Am
taken all the right steps but
G Fmaj7
which doors open with our keys

G
All the neon fires fired in our brains
F
We were thinking that our world was in
Am
danger
Am
But then we entered the fray

[Verse 2]
G
All the rest they could
C
not compare, your
F
smile said that you cared
Fmaj7
And It felt so wonderful

Fmaj7
Now all these memories I can't
G
wash them away, they are
Em
destined to stay
Am
And they feel like a heaven
N.C.
those

[Chorus]
F
pho-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-tah-
G Em
graphic memories
G Em G
and they'll die on with me

[Verse 3]
G
All your faults I did
Cmaj7
cherish them all, I
F
helped you up when you'd fall
G
You did the same for me too
C
Into my life, you ah
Am
rived right on time, you
Fmaj7
must have been a sign
F
and now I’m left with all these

[Chorus]
G Fmaj7
pho-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-tah-
Em Am
graphic memories
Cmaj7
and they'll die on with me

[Bridge]
G
Your eyes
F
burn two giant holes
C
straight in my heart
F
my love spills out
Em
conquers you whole
C
Now we're swimming
G
around in the love
F
and it soaks into our skin
G
though mine is metal
Cmaj7
and yours is flesh.
F Am7
our differences make this the best

C
Love in town and we skip to every
G
destination
F C
we're putting on show everywhere we go
Cmaj7
sparks fly from my lips
Em
its an electric kiss
Fmaj7 G
Static’s abound, frequency sounds
F C
hand in hand we dance around
G Fmaj7
I'm generating lots of love holding your hand
G Em F
They can hear our motors turning across the land

[Verse 4]
G
All our love well it
F
put us at ease and it
Em Am
Somehow made time freeze
G Fmaj7
And it seemed like it’d never end

G
Both of our hearts seemed to
F
Intertwine, when
C
We met for the first time
Am
And now I can’t stop thinking about those

[Chorus]
G
pho-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-tah-
Fmaj7 Em Am
graphic memories
G C
and they'll die on with me

[Verse 5]
Em Am
Hope is very hard when
Em Am
Hope is very hard when you've
Fmaj7 Cmaj7
lost the thing you had before

Em Am
I took all the right steps
Em C
I took all the right steps and I
Cmaj7 G
unlocked the right doors

G
All the neon fires died out in my brain
Am
And I grew numb to that feeling of
Em
pain
Fmaj7 F
why did you have to go

[Verse 6]
C
All the rest they could
E
never compare, your
Am C
smile showed me that you cared
G Fmaj7
And it felt so wonderful

Am Em
All those memories I can't
C
wash them away, they are
Fmaj7
embedded in my brain
Em
And I am all alone now with

these

[Chorus]
Em Am
pho-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-tah-
G Fmaj7
graphic memories
Cmaj7 F
and they'll die on with me...
