It was much easier to figure out on piano before adapting it to the guitar.

Am, C, Dm, F, G

     Am        C Dm F
your picture
   Am          C Dm F
is still
      Am       C Dm F
on my wall
      Am       C Dm F
on my wall
    Am         C Dm F
the colors
    Am         C Dm F
are bright
Am             C Dm F
bright
   Am          C Dm F
as ever


      Am C Dm F
the red is strong

      Am C Dm F
the blue is pure

G                    F             C
some things last a long time
G                    F             C
some things last a long time

The rest of the song follows the same progression

your picture
is still
on my wall
on my wall
I think
about you
often
often
I can't forget all the things we did
some things last a long time
some things last a long time

it's funny
but it's true
and it's true
but it's not funny
time comes and goes
all the while
I still think of you
some things last a long time

your picture
is still
on my wall
on my wall
the colors
are bright
bright
as ever
the things that we did
i can't forget
some things last a life time
some things last a life time
