[Intro]
C D Em     (X3)
C D Emadd9

[Verse 1]
Em B5 C
C                                   C D5 Em
Lost in an image like a ghost in time
Em                             Em B5 C
In ceremony of our last goodbye
C                                C   D5 Em    Em B5
A lonely sinner went against a tortured sky
C                         C D5
I saw her in a photograph
Em                                       Em B5
She stood there broken, head in her hand
C
A moment caught in time
C                 A        B
My god, how it's still haunting me


[Chorus]
             C                            D      Em
Well, they say that a picture's worth a thousand words
        C                        D       Em
In the ache of an image I have seen the worst
          C                             D       A
Like a million screams for mercy that can't be unheard
          C         C/B      G5           Emadd9
Cause in times like these we must live and learn


[Verse 2]
Em B5 C
C                                                 Em
Well, where I'm going I can't right the wrongs
Em                                       Em B5 C
Oh, where I turn to where I don't belong
C                                                Em
The things I took for granted way too long
Em           Em B5
Ohhh, mmmm
C                             C  D    A       F
There's so much left unsaid I cannot ignore anymore


[Chorus]
             C                            D      Em
Well, they say that a picture's worth a thousand words
        C                        D       Em
In the ache of an image I have seen the worst
          C                             D       A
Like a million screams for mercy that can't be unheard
          C         C/B      G5            Emadd9
Cause in times like these we must live and learn


[Bridge]
                 C                       D5
The image in my mind, it calls for reason
Em
Haunts me day and night
                 C                          D5
Impermanence we find just like the seasons
   Em
We fade out in due time


[Solo]
C Em C A F

[Chorus]
             C                            D      Em
Well, they say that a picture's worth a thousand words
        C                        D       Em
In the ache of an image I have seen the worst


[Chorus]
             C                            D      Em
Well, they say that a picture's worth a thousand words
        C                        D       Em
In the ache of an image I have seen the worst
         C                                  D    Em
Like a million screams for mercy that can't be unheard
          C                       D        Em
Cause in times like these we must live and learn

      C                                 D       A
So I won't take for granted, I'll speak out in turn
          C         C/B           G5       Emadd9
Cause in times like these we must live and learn
   C         C/B            G5       Emadd9
In times like these we must live and learn
   C         C/B            G5       Emadd9
In times like these we must live and learn
