Capo 4
Key of B
[Verse]
G C
I remember when a photograph was worth
Em
A thousand words
D
A thousand words
G C
Now a thousand pictures come my way, every day
Em D C D
and I like them all the same but they can't take my breath away
G C
I'm fighting the temptation not to look
Em D C D
But I'm still leafing through the pages like the world's my open book
G C
Why don't I got something else to do?
Em D Em D
Feeling trapped behind the viewfinder to share it all with you
C
But that's not what it's about
Em D
I'm so tired of missing out
[Chorus]
C
I look on up
D
To the sky
Em G
I wonder why I put a filter between beauty and my eyes
C
I look on up
D
To your eyes
Em G
It's time I put down my devices and I start to live my life
C
I look on up
D
I look on up
G
To the sky
[Verse]
G Em
Have you ever tried to photograph the moon?
C
Well I have too
D
Yeah I have too
G Em
Find it funny how it never turns out right
Em D C D
It's like someone poked a pinhole in the canvas of the night
C
And that's not what it's about
G D
I'm so tired of missing out
[Chorus]
C
I look on up
D
To the sky
Em G
I wonder why I put a filter between beauty and my eyes
C
I look on up
D
To your eyes
Em G
It's time I put down my devices and I start to live my life
C
I look on up
D
I look on up
G
To the sky
[Bridge]
C
Cause it's a Nick Drake Pink Moon seeing the Pines
D Em
In the pacific north west for the first time I cannot believe my eyes.
C
Yeah I'm singing out loud in the middle of the night
D C
On the balcony in Brisbane looking up into the sky
D
Into the sky
C G
It's time I put down my devices and I start to live my life
[Instrumental]

[Chorus]

I wonder why I put a filter between beauty and my eyes
