           E
Well I've got some scattered pictures
      G#m
Lying on my bedroom floor.
   A
Reminds me of the times we shared.
B
Makes me wish that you were here.
        E
'Cause now it seems
                  G#m
I've forgotten my purpose in this life.
     A
Well all the songs have been erased.
B
Guess I've learned from my mistakes, Well

Chorus:
C#m       E
Open the past and present.
 B               A
Now and we are there.
F#        A             E
Story to tell and I am listening.
C#m       E
Open the past and present.
B               A
And the future too.
F#                         A            E
It's all I've got and I'm giving it to you.

Well, loose ends tied in knots leaving
a lump down in my throat
I'm gagging on a souvenir
Live to fill another year, we'll
Drag it on and on until
my skin is ripped to shreds
Well, leaving myself open wide
Living out a sacrifice, well

Chorus

        B        A G# E
If you got no one
          B               A G# E
And I've got no place to go
          B         A G# E
Would it be alright?
          B        A B
Could it be alright?

Well, I've got some scattered pictures
Lying on my bedroom floor
Reminds me of the times we've shared
Makes me wish that you were here, 'cause
Now it seems
I've forgotten my purpose in this life
Well all the songs have been erased
Guess I've learned from my mistakes, well

Chorus

It's all I've got and I'm giving it to you.
