[Verse 1]
       Gm                   F             Eb                Bb
 I was looking through some photographs i found inside your drawer
       Gm         F               Eb  Bb
 I was taken by a photograph of you
            Gm           F                        Eb               Bb
 There were one or two i know that you would have liked a little more
          Gm               F               Eb    Bb
 But they didn't show your spirit quite as true
 
[Pre-Chorus]
          Dm                Dm            Bb
 You were turning 'round to see who was behind you
       Dm                 Dm             F
 And i took your childish laughter by surprise
            Eb             Eb                 Gm
 And at the moment that my camera happened to find you
           Cm              Eb             Bb
 There was just a trace of sorrow in your eyes
 
[Verse 2]
         Gm              F              Eb              Bb
 Now the things that i remember seem so distant and so small
           Gm            F                 Eb    Bb
 Though it hasn't really been that long a time
      Gm           F             Eb            Bb
 What i was seeing wasn't really happening at all
         Gm                F                 Eb     Bb
 Although for a while, our paths did seem to climb
 
[Pre-Chorus]
              Dm                   Dm                      Bb
 But when you see through love's illusions, there lies the danger
          Dm                 Dm                   F
 And your perfect lover just looks like a perfect fool
           Eb             Eb                  Gm
 So you go running off in search of a perfect stranger
           Cm                  Eb
 While the loneliness seems to spring from your life
        Bb              F
 Like a fountain from a pool
 
[Chorus]
Eb           Bb     D            Gm
 Fountain of sorrow, fountain of light
Eb                 Bb          D                     Gm
 You've known that hollow sound of your own steps in flight
Eb             Bb                  D              Gm
 You've had to hide sometimes, but now you're all right
          Bb               Eb
 And it's good to see your smiling face tonight
 
[Interlude]
 
[Verse 3]
         Gm            F               Eb                Bb
 Now for you and me it may not be that hard to reach our dreams
          Gm            F               Eb   Bb
 But that magic feeling never seems to last
               Gm                 F           Eb                         Bb
 And while the future's there for anyone to change, still you know it's seems
             Gm         F                    Eb    Bb
 It would be easier sometimes to change the past
 
[Pre-Chorus]
          Dm                     Dm                  Bb
 I'm just one or two years and a couple of changes behind you
       Dm                Dm                 F
 In my lessons at love's pain and heartache school
              Eb                    Eb                  Gm
 Where if you feel too free and you need something to remind you
              Cm                   Eb
 There's this loneliness springing up from your life
        Bb               F
 Like a fountain from a pool
 
[Chorus]
Eb           Bb     D            Gm
 Fountain of sorrow, fountain of light
Eb                 Bb          D                     Gm
 You've known that hollow sound of your own steps in flight
Eb             Bb                 D              Gm
 You've had to hide sometimes but now you're all right
          Bb               Eb
 And it's good to see your smiling face tonight
