C Bm Cm D7 G
G
Used to be my pleasure
B7
When I'd wake up in the morning
C
Just to open my eyes and see you
Dbº
Just to find you were lying there
G D7 B7/4 B7
But mornings now they seem to be an everyday affair
Em C G
I'm just a picture in the memory of your mind
( D C Bm Am G )
G
All I ever wanted
B7
Every dream that I've ever cherished
C
Was to share in a kind of magic
Dbº
That only lovers ever share
G
All you ever offered me
D7 B7/4 B7
Was the moment then and there
Em C
I'm just a picture in your mind
Em B/D#
I used to want you, oh how badly did I want you
D A/C#
I could not stand the hunger
A9 B7/4 B7
I used to stay awake at night and think of nothing but you
Em B/D#
And when I would awake to find you lying there beside me
D A/C#
It made me so damn happy
A9 B7/4 B7 D7/4 D7
I couldn't satisfy my craziness for you
G
Now the spell is broken
B7
And my dreams they've all turned to ashes
C
But I still have a love for living
Dbº
By loving you I've only just begun
G D7 B7/4 B7
Love is never easy when it's given just by one
Em C
I'm just a picture in your mind
Em B/D#
I used to want you, oh how badly did I want you
D A/C#
I could not stand the hunger
A9 B7/4 B7
I used to lie awake at night and think of nothing but you
Em B/D#
And when I would awake to find you lying there beside me
D A/C#
It made me so damn happy, babe
A9 B7/4 B7 D7/4 D7
I couldn't satisfy my craziness for you
G
Found a few more answers
B7
And I'm ready for tomorrow
C
But I still have to stop and wonder
Dbº
If I've learned anything from what we've done
G D7 B7/4 B7
Love is never easy when it's given just by one
Em C
I'm just a picture in your mind
Em A7
Picture in your mind
Full
key step up
Half
key step up
Half
key step down
Full
key step down
