Snow Patrol - Please Just Take These Photos From My Hands: chords

C#           D#m          B
The yellowed page of the books
                  D#m     B
and books I'd forgotten that
  C#              D#m
I had these paperbacks they know their
B                  D#m
age they smell of weight and
 B                   C#
time that's resting warm

The opened box beside the endless box
parade that haunts my house
Is fit to split with photographs
that tell the wanderlust of years
smashed on to years

Chorus:
C#            D#m                 B
When all this actual life played out
           F#               C#
Where the hell on Earth was I?
            D#m                B   D#m B
I rack my brains but it won't come

Through water damaged bloodshot eyes
The fleeting triumphs, brazen lies
All seem to mingle into one

I read your name under words in your
elegant hand you probably don't mean now
I fold the letter and think of
a million and one things that
I could have done different

Chorus

One gigantic fairy tale
Of friends I haven't seen in years
Drinking 'til the daylight hurts
