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