[Intro]
A D A D A D E
[Verse 1]
A
What do you remember time goes quickly by
Growing up went so slow now it just seems to fly
D A
Milestones came and went where did those years go
D A E
For all the time and effort what’s there to show
[Verse 2]
A
What of those nights and places when you said so long
Thinking that you had it right find out you'd got it wrong
D A
Took some time to hanging around nothing much to say
D A E
Lessons learnt and forgotten prices you had to pay
[Verse 3]
A
What do you remember the conversations you’ve had?
The ones who made you laugh the ones that made you sad
D A
Plans and schemes you undertook to get the most from life
D A E
Games you played and turns you made despite some good advice
[Chorus]
D E A
The mind’s taking photographs
D E A F#m
Most will get erased but there’s some that do not
D E A F#m
The cameras always clicking it's ticking over in our mind
D E D E
How does it decide what to keep and what to leave behind?
[Verse 4]
A
It could have been a place or someone you came across
Did something set your heart on fire; was it something that you've lost?
D A
Maybe a childhood memory something from your teens
D A E
The things we do in our life to try and fulfill our dreams
[Instrumental]
A D A E A D A E A E
[Verse 5]
A
Well it’s just as well we have that album that album in our mind
To take us back to special times oh so hard to find
D A
Some heartbreaks and tragedies, times we lost the fight
D A E
But what about when you were in love on a brilliant starry night
[Chorus]
D E A
The mind is taking photographs
D E A F#m
Most get erased but there’s some that do not
D E A F#m
The cameras always clicking it's ticking over in our mind
D E D E
How does it decide what to keep and what to leave behind?
[Chorus]
D E A
The mind’s taking photographs
D E A F#m
Most get erased but there’s some that do not
D E A F#m
The cameras always clicking it's ticking over in our mind
D E D E
How does it decide what to keep and what to leave behind?
[Outro]
