Family Snapshot
Standard tuning with capo on the 1st fret

The streets are lined with camera crews
E D
Everywhere he goes is news
G Cm
Today is different
G Cm
Today is not the same
G Cm
Today I make the action
C C* G
Take snapshot into the light, snapshot into the light (twice)
C C* C
Im shooting into the light
F#m
Four miles down the cavalcade moves on
E
Driving into the sun
A Asus4 A Asus4
If I worked it out right
A Asus4 A Asus4
They wont see me or the gun
F#m
Two miles to go, theyre clearing the road
E
The cheering has really begun
A Asus4
Ive got my radio
A Asus4 A Asus4
I can hear whats going on
E F#m
Ive been waiting for this
I have been waiting for this
All you people in tv land
I will wake up your empty shells
Peak-time viewing blown in a flash
As I burn into your memory cells
cos Im alive

Come back mum and dad

You know that Im growing up sad

I need some attention

I shoot into the light

You were like that too

If you don't get given you learn to take
E F#m
And I will take you."
