| A   | A   | D   | D   | A   | A   | D   | D   |
| A   | A   | Bm  | E7  | A   | A

[Verse 1]
             A                                                           D
My favorite picture of you is the one where you're staring straight into the lens
             A                                          D
It's just a polaroid shot someone took on the spot, no beginning, no end
             A
It's just a moment in time you can't have back
Bm                        E7               A
You never left but your bags were packed, just in case

[Verse 2]
             A                                          D
My favorite picture of you is bent and faded and it's pinned to my wall
       A                                               D
Oh and you were so angry, it's hard to believe we were lovers at all
           A
There's a fire in your eyes, you've got your heart on your sleeve
  Bm                      E7                A
A curse on your lips, but all I can see is beautiful

[Verse 3]
             A                                    D
My favorite picture of you is the one where your wings are showing
              A                                              D
Oh and your arms are crossed, your fists are clenched, not gone but going
       A
Oh, a stand up angel who won't back down
Bm               E7                     A
Nobody's fool, nobody's clown, you were smarter than that

[Verse 4]
             A                                 D
My favorite picture of you is the one where it hasn't rained yet
        A                                             D
Oh and as I recall, that came a winter squall and we got soaking wet
         A
It's a thousand words in the blink of an eye
     Bm                  E7         A
The camera loves you and so do I, click

[Outro]
             A                                                        D
My favorite picture of you is the one where you're staring, straight into the lens -----
