B   A-Ab-E x4


           E                               Abm
Well I've got some scattered pictures lying on my bedroom floor. 
   A       
Reminds me of the times we shared. 
   B
Makes me wish that you were here. 
       E                              Abm
'Cause now it seems I've forgotten my purpose in this life. 
     A
Well all the songs have been erased. 
    B
Guess I've learned from my mistakes, Well 

Chorus:
C#m      E
Open the past and present. 
B              A
Now and we are there. 
F#5      A              E
Story to tell and I am listening. 
C#m      E
Open the past and present. 
B              A
And the future too. 
F#5                       A            E
It's all I've got and I'm giving it to you. 


     E
Well loose ends tied in knots. 
          Abm
Leaving a lump down in my throat. 
      A
While gagging on a souvenir. 
 B
live to fill another year. 
     E                          Abm
Well drag it on and on until my skin is ripped to shreds. 
 A
Leaving myself open wide. 
 B
Living out a sacrifice.

Chorus:
C#m      E
Open the past and present. 
B              A
Now and we are there. 
F#5      A              E
Story to tell and I am listening. 
C#m      E
Open the past and present. 
B              A
And the future too. 
F#5                       A            E
It's all I've got and I'm giving it to you.

Bridge:
B  A-Ab-E
  If you got no one
B  A-Ab-E
  And I've got no place to go
B  A-Ab-E
  Would it be alright? 
B                    A-B
Could it be alright?


           E                               Abm
