INTRO
| C | % | Dm | % |
| C | % | Dm | % |
VERSE
C
It's not the way you look
C Dm
It's not the way that you smile
Dm
Although there's something to them
C
It's not the way you have your hair
C Dm
It's not that certain style
Dm
It could be that with you
CHORUS
G A
If I had a photograph of you
G A
Or something to remind me
G A
I wouldn't spend my life just wishing
INTERLUDE
| C | % | Dm | % |
| C | % | Dm | % |
VERSE
C
It's not the make-up
C Dm
And it's not the way that you dance
Dm
It's not the evening sky
C
It's more the way your eyes
C Dm
Are laughing as they glance
Dm
Across the great divide
CHORUS
G A
If I had a photograph of you
G A
Or something to remind me
G A
I wouldn't spend my life just wishing
INTERLUDE
| C | % | Dm | % |
| C | % | Dm | % |
VERSE
C
It's not the things you say
C Dm
It's not the things you do
Dm
It must be something more
C
And if I feel this way for so long
C Dm
Tell me is it all for nothing
Dm
Just don't walk out the door
CHORUS
G A
If I had a photograph of you
G A
Or something to remind me
G A
I wouldn't spend my life just wishing
OUTRO
