D

[Verse 1]
D           G
I don't need nerves of steel
D Bm      A
I can resist a gentle tease
D              G
If it's a test, I can be tough
D  G         A
If it's a bluff, I'm not impressed
D                    G
You closed the books, I'm off the hook
D   Bm           A
You left the stress, I kept the mess
D               G
I must confess, I have no fear
Bm  A           D
But neither the guts, my dear


[Chorus]
A              Bm
I picture your photographs
D                    Em    D    A
I'm dying here and I don't know why
A             Bm
I picture the pose you held
D                         Em    D   A
The blush you felt, but I won't ask why
A             Bm
I picture you somewhere else
D                     Em    D    A
The story ends, but I don't know how
A           Bm                   D G D
If only the timing had been right


[Verse 2]
D             G
I'm backing up my favourite shots
D    Bm        A
It's not a lot, but all I got
D                G
Give me a scheme, 'cause as it seems
D   G          A
I'm running out of good ideas
D               G
I'm risk averse, I don't jump first
D   Bm         A
I'm taking note of each alert
D               G
So no more loss, I'll let it go
Bm   A           D
I'll take things nice and slow


[Chorus]
A              Bm
I picture your photographs
D                    Em    D    A
I'm dying here and I don't know why
A             Bm
I picture the pose you held
D                         Em    D   A
The blush you felt, but I won't ask why
A             Bm
I picture you somewhere else
D                     Em    D    A
The story ends, but I don't know how
A           Bm
If only the timing had been right
