verse 1 
C                    Am 
  A long, long time ago, 
Em                       G 
  When we were young and pretty 
C                                   Am 
 We ruled the world, we stopped the time, we knew it all 
Em              G 
  We owned this city 
C                  Caug                Am                      D 
  Running with the crowd, carefree and proud, I heard somebody say 
       C 
Take a picture of this 
G          F 
    Take a picture of this 


verse 2 
C                        Am 
  The years went rushing by 
                       Em                      G 
In the twinkling of an eye, we rolled with the changes 
C                      Am 
  The life we knew was gone 
                          Em           G 
Our friends had all moved on, time rearranges 
C                    Caug 
  But on our wedding day 
                      Am            D 
They all came back to say, “Congratulations" 
       C 
Take a picture of this 
G          C 
    Take a picture of this 


Bridge 
F                  Fm            C 
 Then, we raised a family of our own 
C7 
 We were so happy, baby 
F              Bb9                Am        D 
 But now those kids are grown and gone

Bridge 2 
G  Am          C             F 
      I gave it everything I had 
G  Am             F                  C 
      Through the good times and the bad 
G  Am              C         F 
      But now, I'm down here on the floor 
G  Am                F 
      'Cause I don't know you anymore 


verse 3 
C                         Am                Em                 G 
  Yeah, that's a suitcase,   yeah, that's a ticket for a plane 
C                               Am      Em               G 
 There's no one here to talk to,     no reason to remain 
C                        Caug                     C6  
 When you spend all your time living in the past 
C6                                D 
 With all those pictures that you took 
       Am                   D 
Here's one more for the book 
       C               G 
Take a picture of this, this is me leaving 
       F                                    C  
Take a picture of this, this is me walking away
