[Verse 1]
C
The moving van is waitin' for the rain to stop
     F           C              Dm7
Your agent put a sign up in the yard
  G
I wondered was there anything that you'd forgot
  F                                   G
I guess that goodbye's got to be this hard

[Verse 2]
C
One last look around the rooms that we shared
  F               C              Dm7
I knew I couldn't stay here by myself
  A#            Am                 G
I saw a box and wondered why you'd left it out
F                                 G
Right there on the bedroom closet shelf

[Verse 3]
C
Faded yellow photos of a boy and girl
F              C             Dm7
Smiling in the blazing Texas sun
   G7
It must have been the year before your daddy died
   F                                    G    G7
He tried to warn me then this day would come

[Chorus]
          C                  F              G
I get the picture though the love has gone away
          C                   F           G
I get the picture though your memory will fade
          C       C
I get the picture   (key change move capo one fret)

[Verse 4]
C
Wasn't that the guy you told me you forgot
   F                   C              Dm7
Oh what's his name who never made you laugh
      G
But I never made you smile the way you're smilin' here
       F                       G
By his side in this faded photograph

[Verse 5]
C
Last night when I met you at your lawyer's house
  F                 C                   Dm7
I wondered bout the guy who dropped you off

A#                 F                G
Guess I’d probably never place this smiling face
F                              G
If you hadn't left behind this box

[Chorus]
          C                  F             G
I get the picture though the love has gone away
          C                   F           G
I get the picture though your memory will fade
          C       F
I get the picture
G           C
  I get the picture
