[Verse 1]
D                    Bm
  A long, long time ago,
F#m                      A
  When we were young and pretty
D                                   Bm
 We ruled the world, we stopped the time, we knew it all
F#m             A
  We owned this city
D                  Daug                Bm                      E
  Running with the crowd, carefree and proud, I heard somebody say
       D
Take a picture of this
A              D
  Aaah, take a picture of this


[Verse 2]
D                        Bm
  The years went rushing by
                       F#m                     A
In the twinkling of an eye, we rolled with the changes
D                      Bm
  The life we knew was gone
                          F#m          A
Our friends had all moved on, time rearranges
D                    Daug
  But on our wedding day
                      Bm            E
They all came back to say, “Congratulations"
       D
Take a picture of this
A              G
  Aaah, take a picture of this


[Bridge]
G                  Gm            D
 Then, we raised a family of our own
D7
 We were so happy, baby
G              C9                 Bm        E
 But now those kids are grown and gone

[Bridge 2]
A  Bm          D/F#          G
      I gave it everything I had,
A  Bm             G                  D
      Through the good times and the bad
A  Bm              D/F#      G
      But now, I'm down here on the floor
A  Bm                G
      'Cause I don't know you anymore


[Verse 3]
D                         Bm                F#m                A
  Yeah, that's a suitcase,   yeah, that's a ticket for a plane
D                               Bm      F#m              A
 There's no one here to talk to,     no reason to remain
D                        Daug
 When you spend all your time living in the past
D6                                E
 With all those pictures that you took
       Bm                   E
Here's one more for the book
       D/A             A
Take a picture of this, this is me leaving
       G                                   [ D ]
Take a picture of this, this is me walking away

Take a picture of this
       D               Dsus4
Take a picture of this
       D               Dsus4    D
Take a picture of this
