Intro
| F#m D | A E | 4x
[Verse 1]
B F#
Staring at the bottom and the memories of long ago
B F#
Try to pull yourself up loose that all time low
B
Still it wants to bring you down
F#
Wants to steal your crown
B F#
Try to wrap it up and just give it all some place to go
[Chorus]
F#m
Staring at a photograph
D
Of everything we used to have
A E
And memories of long ago
F#m D A E
Hard to shake them now, hard to shake them now
F#m
Looking back at the past
D
And why we couldn't make it last
A E
And why you ever had to go
F#m D A E
Hard to take it now, hard to shake it now
B
It holds on
[Verse 2]
F#
Somewhere down the road and the things you learned along the way
B F#
All you won and lost, and all you had to pay
B
Still it wants to turn you round
F#
Wants to steal your ground
B F#
Try to wrap it up and somehow just put it all away
[Chorus]
F#m
Staring at a photograph
D
Of everything we used to have

And memories of long ago
F#m D A E
Hard to shake them now, hard to shake them now
F#m
Looking back at the past
D
And why we couldn't make it last
A E
And why you ever had to go

Hard to take it now, hard to shake it now
