Family Snapshot Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G]The streets are[C] lined with
camera [G]crews
Everywhere he goes is [C]news
[Bb]Today is diffe[F]rent
[Bb]Today is not the [F]same
[Bb]Today [F]I make the action
Take snapshot into the light,
[Bb]snapshot[Gm] into [F]the ligh[Bb]t
I'm [Gm]shooting [F]into the [Bb]light
[Em]Four miles

[Verse 2]
down the cavalcade moves on
Driv[D]ing in[Dsus4]to the su[D]n[G]
If I worked it out right
They won't see me [C]or the gun

[Verse 3]
[G]Two[C] miles [Em]to go,
they're clearing the road
The [D]cheering [G]has really [Dsus4]begun[D][G]
I've got my radio

[Verse 4]
I can hear what's going on
[Bm][G]
[C]I'v[D]e been waiting for[Em] this
[Bm]I ha[G]ve b[C]ee[G]n waiting for this[C][Em]
[Bm]All you [G]people in [C]TV land
I will [D]wake up your empty [Em]shells
[Bm]Peak-time viewing [G]viewing [C]blown in a flash
As [D]I burn into your memory [Em]cells
'cause [Bm]I'm a[Em]live[C][D][Em]

[Verse 5]
[Em]
They're coming 'round the corner
with the bikers at the front
I'm [D]wiping the sweat from my [G]eyes
It's a matter of time
It's a matter of will
And the [Em]governor's car
is not far behind
He's [D]not the one I've got in mind
[G]'cause there he is-the man man of the hour,
standing in the [Bm]limousine[G][C]
"I don't [D]really hate [Em]you
I don't care what you [Bm]do[G]
[C]We were made for each oth[D]er
Me an[Em]d you
[Bm]I want to be someb[C]ody
[D]You were like that too[Em]
If you [Bm]don't [G]get given you [C]learn to take
And [D]I will take y[Em]ou."[F]

[Verse 6]
Holding [F]my [Em]breath[F]
Release the [Em]catch[F]
And I let [G]the bullet [C]fly[Bb]
[Csus4][Bb][C]

[Verse 7]
All turned quiet I have
[Bb]been here before
Lonely boy [F]hiding behind
the front door
Friends have all gone home
There's my toy gun on the floor
Come back Mum and [Dm]Dad
You're growing [C]apart
You know that I'm growing up sad
I need some attention
I shoot into the light
