Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[Am][G][Dm][Am][G][Dm][Am]
I [G]rode my bike to

[Verse 1]
[Dm]
town [D]today
[G]Wobbling down [Dm]the path[D][Am]
I [G]knew the kids would see [Dm]me
[Am]I lo[G]ve it when they laug[Dm]h

[Verse 2]
And [Am]I wi[G]sh I were a camera[Dm]
And I could [Am]slice [G]time like a [Dm]knife
Seeing [Am]stori[G]es in [Dm]the faces
[Am]And [G]crystallizing life[Dm]

[Verse 3]
[F][Chorus]
Wish I [Em]were [G]a camera
[Em]I wi[F]sh it all the [Em]time[G][Am]
[F]It gives my [Em]eyes [G]a r[C]eason
[F]It gives my life a rhyme

[Interlude 1]
[F][Am]
[G][Dm][Am][G][Dm]
[Am]
I'd [G]be a lens that could

[Verse 4]
[Dm]see souls
A shut[G]ter that never shut[Dm]s[D]
I'd have [Am]film [G]that lasts for[Dm]ever
[Am]And I wo[G]uld live in huts[Dm]

[Verse 5]
In [Am]the jungles [G]of South America[Dm]
Like my [G]father before [Dm]the war
[D]I'd[G] find out where we [Dm]came from
[Am]And what[G] this life is for

[Interlude 2]
[Dm][F][Em][G][C][Em][F][Em][G][Am][F][Em][G][C][F]

[C][F][Am][G][Dm][D][Am][G][Dm]

[Verse 6]
[Chorus: x2] [Dm]I would
[G]climb right off this plan[Dm]et
On [Am]the c[G]learest night of a[Dm]ll
[Am]And photogra[G]ph the future[Dm]
When [Am]it fina[G]lly comes to c[Dm]all

[Verse 7]
I [Am]would [G]save up all these im[Dm]ages
These [Am]in s[G]tants in a b[Dm]ox
And when I [G]am old and [Dm]lonely
They [Am]could [G]cover up the clocks
[Dm]

[Interlude 3]
[F][Em][G][C][F][Em][G][Am][F][Em][G][C][F]
[Am][G][Dm][D][Dm][Am][G][Dm][Am]
[Chorus] I [G]wish that I could shoot

[Verse 8]
[Dm]
at night
And [Am]leave [G]without a t[Dm]race
[Am]And catch [G]my lover's [Dm]sleeping smile
By the [Am]starlight [G]on her[Dm] face

[Verse 9]
But I think [Am]mostly [G]that I'd
see chil[Dm]dren
'Cause [Am]they [G]haven't learned to [Dm]hide
And [Am]they [G]watch me on my bi[Dm]cycle
And laugh [G]with me [Dm]as I ride
