Put inside the picture frame
D6 G/D G6
some tables and a coffee pot
Am7 Cmaj7
a uniform, a girl of twenty-three
D6 G/D
Sitting at a table put
D6 G/D D6
a man of thirty-seven, as
Em7 G G/A
exotic as that girl would ever see
D6 G/D
Have her standing over him
D6 G/D G6
and laughing as he's asking her
Am7 Cmaj7
a question, no one's thought to ask before
D6 G/D
Color him with mystery
D6 G/D D6
and color her with danger
Em7 G
and expose them just enough to wish for more
G/A F#m7add4 G
And there was something there between us.
D6add9 E7
Something I could never name:
F#m7add4 Gadd2
Something stronger, something stranger,
D6add9 Em7
More than quicksand, more than flame:
A7
Another life.

Further down the gallery, a picture of a couple
Am7 Cmaj7
On a honeymoon in Marrakesh somewhere.
D6 G/D
See him with his camera at his eye,
D6 G/D D6
And see her grasping at his hand,
Em7 G
Afraid he doesn’t know she’s there.
G/A F#m7add4 G
And there was something deep inside him,
D E7
Something I could never reach.
F#m7add4 Gadd2
Like he saw it getting closer,
D Em7
In a window, on a beach:
A7 D6
Another life.
G/D D6
G/D F#7
Another life...
Bm F#7
But I believed I’d grow to be
Bm E7
The thing he needed most to see,
Amaj7 Ebm b5
And if our nights just stayed this hot,
B9
I’d break him down,
E7sus4 Asus
He’d open up...
D6
Well, obviously not.

Back there in a shadow, find a picture of a woman Wearing
Am7 Cmaj7
four years of confusion like a scar.
D6 G/D D6 G/D D6
Walking through the door and leaving nothing but a note That says
Em7 Gsus2
“I’m sorry, Robert,” taped to her guitar.
G/A F#m7add4 G
And there is so much I still wonder,
D E13
Did he need me? Did he know?
F#m7add4 G
“Love is open, love is easy”
D Em7
That was someone long ago.
A7 D6 G/D D6
Another life.
G/D D6 G/D D6
Another life.
