Intro: D Bm A G x 2
D Bm
Picture if you can a man
G D
Standing in a crowded bar
D
Everybody's laughing
Bm
Drinking and dancing
G D
But he's wondering where you are
G
Smiling pretending
D
Trying to blend in
Bm G
With the good times and the noise
G
Inside he's hurting
D
Feels like deserting
Bm A G
So he can call just to hear your voice
chorus:
D Bm
Well what's wrong with this picture
G D
It's not right that your not here
D Bm
He's wondering what you're doing
A G
And if you even care
G A
Just close your eyes and imagine
D Bm
Cause it's not hard to see
G A
That the lonely figure in this picture
Is me.

D Bm
There's a photograph in your room
G D
Of a man who's far from home
D
There's no way of knowing
Bm
Because it's not showing
G D
But inside he's all alone
G
Thinks of you always
D
Misses you all day
Bm G
You've captured him with all your charms
G
Prays sleep will come quickly
D
Helps it with whiskey
Bm A G
So he can dream that he's in your arms
chorus
...that the lonely figure in this picture
is me.
