[Verse 1]
D
Look at me in that photograph
                    G
Before we were ever us
D
Long before you found someone else
    C         G      D
and broke our sacred trust
D
I hardly recognize myself
              G
Sure has been awhile
D
Amazing how much my life has changed
C          G         D
Since I've worn that smile
     C        G       D
What happened to that smile

[Chorus]
G                  G/B
There I am with my head held high
   D                     A         D
My step was quick and my eyes were bright
G             G/B       G
Back when I believed in love
    A
And would lay my heart on the line
G                  G/B       G
I don't know which hurts the most
D                       G
Losing you or having to see
D
The picture of the man I was
           C        G       D
Before the fool you made of me

[Verse 2]
D
I've wasted time here missing you
               G
Doubting who I am
G
I can't make you something you're not
    C        G  D
But I can be me again
   C           G      D
Oh deep down I know I can...

[Chorus]
G                  G/B
There I am with my head held high
   D                     A         D
My step was quick and my eyes were bright
G             G/B       G
Back when I believed in love
    A
And would lay my heart on the line
G                  G/B       G
I don't know which hurts the most
D                       G
Losing you or having to see
D
The picture of the man I was
           C        G       D
Before the fool you made of me

D
I want to be the man I was
           C        G       D
Before the fool you made of me
