Camera
View chords used in this chart
C
It's a mystery night
F
Like a sawed-off shot gun
C G
In the morning light it comes to anyone
C
All the strings that follow you
F
And the things they're tied to
C G
My love's behind you colored by the snow
C
The shine is gone
F
I used to know what made you wet
C G
Now I'm searching for it
F
Cause it's a mystery all the same
F C G
Not to get you back
-Chorus-
Am F
On holiday
Dm Am
With a broken camera
F
And all I say
Dm Am
Is "I could be happier"
G C
I could be happier
C Em
It's a mystery night
C
And I thought we had fun
But in the morning light
Dm
Your cars already gone
C Em
Do the things I wanna do
C
Not the ones I'm supposed to
Why can't I get close to
Dm
The man I saw in me
When I was young
-Chorus-
Am F
On holiday
Dm Am
With a broken camera
F
And all I say
Dm Am
Is "I could be happier"
F
And all I say
Dm
Is "I could be happier"
C
All up the way
Em F Dm
I'm free of all the shadows that follow me
C Em
Of all the branches up to break
F
With all my faith
Destiny and fate
C Em F
Cause I never wanna go there tonight
The cameras, cameras
C Em F
I never wanna open up my eyes
Am
The cameras, the cameras
G
Dm
No cameras
Am
No cameras
-ending part-
G , Em , G , F , Am , Em , G , Dm
E Am Em
Cause I never wanna go there tonight
G D
I never wanna open up my eyes
Am
