   E                        D      A
A picture tells a thousand words, some of them were mine
 G                  D            A                  E
Combing through the evidence, afraid of what we'll find
     E                     D           A
The sun could lift us up should this thunder ever stop
           C                G                   D  E
There's no over, there's no under, there's no shame

Chorus:
 A                          E
Picture of love, we were a picture of love
    C#m             B                 A
The measure of our years so deep and wide
E A                         E
Picture of hope, we were a picture of hope
  G               D              B7sus4  B7
Standing close together side-by-side,  yeah

If we let the darkness of these times break us
Oh-oh-oh, that would truly be the crime
Did I cause the sadness in your eyes?
Oh, allow me, please, to ease your troubled mind

Chorus

   C                  G         D                G
Strangers, they walk past with eyes of one-way glass
  C              G                   D  Dsus4 D
Thinking what's hidden will someday pass
 C                G        Am
Somewhere down below, the will to not let go
     C                                   D
Our hearts fit together 'cause they're broken, oh-oh-oh

Chorus - x2
