People take pictures of the summer

         F

Just in case someone thought they had missed it

         D

And to prove that it really existed



Fathers take pictures of the mothers

And sisters take pictures of brothers

Just to show that they love one another



CHORUS #1:

     C                           Bb

You can't picture love that you took from me

                                      C

When we were young and the world was free

                            Bb

Pictures of things as they used to be



Don't show me no more please



People take pictures of each other

Just to prove that they really existed

Just to prove that they really existed

People take pictures of each other

And one moment will last them forever

At the time when they mattered to someone



BRIDGE:

C              C

Lie na nie na  lie na nie na

D                Bb       G

Lie na nie na  na nie nie nie na

C              C

Lie na nie na  lie na nie na

D                  Bb      G

Lie na nie na  na nie nie nie na

Bb        G     Bb       G

na na nie na   na na nie na



People take pictures of the summer

Just in case someone thought they had missed it

Just to prove that it really existed

People take pictures of each other

And one moment will last them forever

At the time when they mattered to someone



CHORUS #2:

A picture of me when I was just three

Sat with my ma by the old oak tree

How I love things as they used to me

Don't show me no more please



La la la la la...
