[Chorus]
G
People take pictures of the summer
F
Just in case someone thought they had missed it
D
And to prove that it really existed
G
Fathers take pictures of the mothers
F
And the sisters take pictures of brothers
D
Just to show that they love one another
[Post-Chorus]
C
You can't picture love that you took from me
F
When we were young and the world was free
C
Pictures of things as they used to be
F
Don't show me no more, please
[Chorus]
G
People take pictures of each other
F
Just to prove that they really existed
D
Just to prove that they really existed
G
People take pictures of each other
F
And a moment could last them forever
D
Of the time when they mattered to someone
[Bridge]

[Chorus]
G
People take pictures of the Summer
F
Just in case someone thought they had missed it
D
Just to prove that it really existed
G
People take pictures of each other
F
Of a moment that last them forever
D
And the time when they mattered to someone

C
Picture of me when I was just three
F
Sat with my Ma by the old oak tree
C
How I love things as they used to be
F
Don't show me no more, please
