VERSE 1
 
                   Em 
Man, we used to be brothers 
D                G 
 Superheroes and warriors 
E                    D 
Cowboys and Indians, train drivers 
G 
Everything rolling through the endless summers 
               Em 
But everything changes 
D                             G 
 You got married, had children 
      Em 
And I don't have your number 
    D                          G 
The one I can remember is that place you used to live with your parents 


 
           C                D         Em          G        D 
But in the stillness of the moment it takes for a Polaroid picture 

To capture our faces forever and 
    C                  D            Em 
The world has turned a touch on its axis 
        G          D 
And the only thing certain is 

That everything changes 


VERSE 2 
                    Em 
And they closed the Astoria 
D                   G 
 At the end of last summer 
    Em 
The place we earned our pedigrees 
D 
Scene of our victories 
G 
Sanctuary in the centre of London 
                       Em 
Now they're building a railway 
D                           G 
 To track the vanquished to Versailles 
        Em 
And the singalongs go on 
            D 
But they're singing different songs 
   G 
In rooms that we don't know on the other side of the city 



           C                D         Em          G        D 
But in the stillness of the moment it takes for a Polaroid picture 

To capture our faces forever and 
    C                  D            Em 
The world has turned a touch on its axis 
        G          D 
And the only thing certain is 

That everything changes 


BRIDGE 
                C 
So honey I just need a little time 
   Em                   D 
To take a little time today 
   C                           Em 
To savour all the triumphs and tragedies 
                  D 
Before they slip away 
                  G (PM this section) 
Before they slip away 

    G 
Let go of the little distractions 
     D 
Hold close to the ones that you love 
           C 
Because we won't all be here this time next year 
             Em                    D 
So while you can take a picture of us 
    G 
Let go of the little distractions 
     D 
Hold close to the ones that you love 
           C 
Because we won't all be here this time next year 
             Em                    D 
So while you can take a picture of us 


                G 
Take a Polaroid picture 
                D 
Take a Polaroid picture 
                C 
Take a Polaroid picture 
                Em      D 
Take a Polaroid picture 
                           G 
Oh, please take a Polaroid picture 
                D 
Take a Polaroid picture 
                  C 
Take a picture of us to show 
                   Em            D 
We all want you to see where the time goes 

CHORUS (open picking) 
          C                D 
So in the stillness of the moment 
     Em 
Make sure you take a Polaroid picture 

And keep it with you forever to 
C                    D 
Remind yourself that everything changes 
                   
But there was this one time 

Man there was this one time 
                  A7 (strummed, let ring) 
When things were okay...
