The [Am]mind [Em]has [F]so many [Am]pictures
[F]Why can't I [Am]sleep with my [F]eyes [E]open
The [Am]mind [Em]has [F]so many [Am]memories
[F]Can you [Am]remember what it [E]looks like when I [Am]cry
I'm [Am][Em]Trying, [F]trying to [Am]tell you
[F]All that I [Am]can in a [F]sweet and [E]velvet tongue

[Dm]I'm [G]oooonly the [F]one [A]you [Dm]love

[Dm]Am I [E][Esus4]ooooonly the [G]one you [E]love?
[C]We've traded in our [F]snap shots
[C]We're going through the [G][C]motions
[Dm]Into the view, I'm [D]leaving you
Down [G]Conduit [E]Avenue into the early morning[Dm]
Into the early [Am]morning
The [F]one [A]I [Dm]love
Are you [E][Esus4]oooooonly the [Dm]one [E]I [Am]love?
Ok, a few notes:
When you do the E-Esus4, you shift back and forth with your pinky-finger
and end on the
Esus4. I've stretched a couple of words, so that there is room for the
chords. He sings
those words kind of long too. Some of the timing is a bit tricky, but once
you've played
a few times through, it should stick. Remember to sing the last "one I
love" on a monotonic A.
If you have any corrections or criticisms, do tell in the commentaries.
Cheers,
GWiZ.
