 C                 Am 
A photo, can say a thousand things. 
                     F                       G 
But it can't say the million things, I wanna say.

A photo, can capture the way we were. 
                               F

             G 
'Cause you're far away. 
                  F       Fm

What it's like to touch you. 
 
Chorus: 
        C 
When you told me that you loved me, 
    G 
with those just words. 
         Am 
You can't tell me you don't need me, 
      F 
and I know that hurts. 
           C 
'Cause I'm looking at your picture, 
           G 
'Cause it's all I've got. 
      Am 
Maybe one day

You and me will have, one more shot. 
 
C, Am 
 
C                       Am 
Timing, lost minutes and moments.

And I might be lonely girl, 
             G 
But I'm not afraid. 
     C 
In a second, 
                  Am 
It all comes right back to me. 
             F 
Nothing's forgotten now, 
                  G 
Yeah everything's saved.

Maybe one day

You and me will have, one more shot.
