Verse 1
(D major) I knew that snapshot (A major) as soon as I saw it
on a slightly yel (B minor) lowed page (G major)
Five boys (D major) with arms
on each other's shoulders (A major) (F sharp minor) (A major) (D major)
Drunk (A major) and laughing
(E minor) With all night (A major) to (B minor) rage
To (G major) a camera that grabbed (D major) us
before we got any older (A major)
H (E minor) on the left now (B minor) lectures biology Dave
(E minor) Fuck the world, he mumbles,
(B minor) before misgivin' (E minor)
Plays Jesse Winchester (B minor) on CD, said
Then (E minor) we lived,
now we only (G major) try to make a (D major) liv (A major) in'
(G major) Five bright (D major) boys, still for a (A major) moment
(G major) Ten bright (D major) eyes laughing at (E minor) lies (E major) (B minor)
Nexus (D major) P, (F sharp minor) (D major) who's in ad (A major) vertising
He really made (E major) a man (B minor)
Slick (G major) dresser,
says I'm (D major) glad I don't dream (A major) anymore
(D major) People pay me to think of (A major) one -liners
That make even (E major) great (E minor) detergents glint (B minor)
I (G major) bet good old Joey, (D major)
he'd call me (A major) a whore
Joey's (E major) there in the middle,
recall (B minor) ing my conscience
I en (E minor) vied his bloody sharp (A major) tongue
above (B minor) all
It (E minor) was a (E major) mistake,
his mother cried (B minor) mysteriously
When she (E minor) called,
whether we'd (A major) better pull on
(G major) Five (D major) bright boys, still for a (A major) moment
(G major) Ten bright (D major) eyes, laughing at (E major) lies (C sharp minor)
(G major) 50 (D major) fingers hold (A major) in' each other
5 (G major) bright (D major) boys prepared to (F sharp minor) strive
(D major) Joey holds L, (A major) he's a doctor,
and a father of four
and on two (B minor) bottles of wine a day.
(G major) He used to write poetry,
well he (D major) now beats his (A major) wife,
as (D major) a matter of fact,
she was then the photograph (A major) er.
And he said then,
(E major) it wouldn't last (B minor) as a couple, no way.
(G major) It (D major) looks like they're stuck
with each other for (A major) life
Last (E major) in line there's a boy
who (B minor) laughs his head off
He re (E major) minds me of both my
father (B minor) and my son
That (E minor) kid looks so (E major) famili (B minor) ar
Sometimes I won (G major) der if
we're still the same (A major) one
I went chasing the truth (B minor) in
200 word songs (F sharp minor)
Sometimes I'm (B minor) scared I did it all wrong
(F sharp minor) Then again I feel (B minor) this was the only way (F sharp minor)
I leave the decision (E minor) to
whatever God it (G major) is
That calls it a day (A major)
On (G major) five (D major) bright boys
Still for (A major) a moment
Ten (G major) bright (D major) eyes laughing at (E minor) life (E major) (E minor)
(G major) Fifty (D major) fingers holding (A major) each other
(G major) Five bright (D major) boys prepared to
(F sharp minor) strive (G major) (D major) (A major) (G major) (D major)
(E major) I'm not going to be a fool for you,
(G major) (D major)
I'm not going be you, (A major)
I'm (G major) going (D major) (F sharp minor)
(G major) Five bright boys (F sharp minor) prepared to (E major) (D major) stride (E major) (F sharp minor)
