[Verse]
           E                                 G#
Well, I've got some scattered pictures lying on my bedroom floor.

  A                               B
Reminds me of the time we shared.
B
  Makes me wish that you were here. Well,
E                              G#
Now it seems I've forgotten my purpose in this life.
A
All the songs have been erased.
B
Guess I've learned from my mistakes.


[Chorus]


C#       E(7/9)            B              A
Open the past and present. Now and we are there.
F#          A             E(7/9)
   Story to tell and I am listening
C#       E(7/9)            B              A
Open the past and present. And the future too.
F#                        A           E(9/7)
It's all I've got and I'm givin it to you.


[Verse 2]

E                                   G#
Loose ends tied in knots. Leaving a lump down in my throat.
A                                 B
Gagging on a souvenir.
B
Lodged to fill another year.
E                              G#
Drag it  on  and  on  until my skin is ripped to shreads.
A
Leaving myself open wide
B
Living out a sacrifice.


 {repeat chorus}


[Bridge]


B              A   G# E
/   /   / /    /   /  /    /  /
B              A   G# E
/   /   / /    /   /  /    /  /

         B               A G# E
  If you got no one
         B               A G# E
and I've got no place to go,
         B               A G# E
would it be alright?
         B               A B
Could it be alright?

[Verse 3]


(Let the E chord ring with a lot of sustain)

E
Well, I've got gome scattered pictures lying on my bedroom floor.
Reminds me of the times we shared.
B
  Makes me wish that you were here. Well,
E                              G#
Now it seems I've forgotten my purpose in this life.
A
All the songs have been erased.
B
Guess I've learned from my mistakes.


 Final Chorus:

C#       E(7/9)            B              A
Open the past and present. Now and we are there.
F#          A             E(7/9)
   Story to tell and I am listening
C#       E(7/9)            B              A
Open the past and present. And the future too.
F#                        A           E     B  C#
It's all I've got and I'm givin it to you.
F#                        A           E/e(7/9)
It's all I've got and I'm givin it to you.
