Photograph
A love song.

I dug out an old GV and uploaded to SUNO.
And yes, I like Ringo Star's and Nickleback's version of "Photograph"...also.

[Intro]
[fingerstyle acoustic guitar playing a Travis-picking pattern in G Major]

[Verse 1]
[warm baritone male vocals enter]
Sometimes this world
Chokes off all of my air
Gasping I grasp, fighting I thrash, don't get anywhere
Sometimes this world
Gets to spinning too fast
Try to keep up, it's never enough, fall further back

[Chorus]
That's when I [second acoustic guitar enters with melodic fills]
Reach in my pocket
Pull out that photograph of you
That's when I
Open up my locket
And gaze on that picture I put in there of you
All I need to do is
Lay down next to you and
All my trouble just goes floating away
All you need to be is
Right here next to me and
All my tears and pain just dissipate
And when you're not
I reach in my pocket
And pull out that photograph of you

[Verse 2]
Ain't no cloudy day gon' ever take my joy away
'Cause I know where my head will lay at night when I get home
I might be out somewhere, look around, wish you were there
Might feel just a little despair, but I never feel alone

[Chorus]
'Cause that's when I
Reach in my pocket
And pull out that photograph of you
All I need to do is
Lay down next to you and
All my tears and pain just float away
All you need to be is
Right here next to me and
All my cares and pain just dissipate
And when you're not
I reach in my pocket
And pull out that photograph of you

[Outro]
[acoustic guitar continues picking pattern]
[final strum on G Major chord]

Pretty Good...  I like it...  You get

Well Tex,

Given the appreciation that I have for how you write...if you give it two thumbs-up...I'm gonna feel pretty flush.

Thank you.
