Ohhh ohhh
D G Em C D
I took an hundred and ten pictures of you
G C Am D
Put them all around me and wondered what to do
D Em C D
Like a temple in memory, a shrine in your name
G C D F
To days I don't remember, to nights I can't reclaim
G Em C D
I took a part of my life, about eighteen years on.
G C Am D
Pulled it all to pieces and I tried to make a song
D Em C D
With a groove you could dance to, a tune you could hum
G C Am F
I sang to my reflection, looking for the one
Am D C
Man sees the boy in his eyes. Boy sees the man, singing:
Chorus:
Bb Fm
Shine on I thought you were gone
G# Eb
I thought you gave in, deserted me long ago
Bb Fm
Shine on, you're somebody's son
G# Eb Eb
You're laughing again, you're letting the feeling grow
D G Em C D
I took a hold of myself. It's not how I planned
G C Am D
Pulled myself together and acted like a man
D Em C D
I got a face I must keep up, responsible me
G C D F
I keep it on my shoulders for everyone to see
Am D C
But man sees the boy in his eyes, boy sees the man, singing:
Rpt Chorus:
B F#m
Letting the feeling grow,
A E
giving the years back to me
B F#m
Letting the whole world know
A E
that somebody in there loves me
[play the verse but only humming not with words]
Am D C F
Man sees the boy when he cries, boy sees the man clinging to him
Am D C
Man sees the boy in his eyes, boy sees the man, singing:
