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

i look on up

to the sky
Em G
i wonder why i put a filter between beauty and my eyes

i look on up

to your eyes
Em G
it’s time i put down my devices and i start to live my life

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 look on up

i got stuck , so if anyone can post corrections , please post them! the bridge i
couldn’t understand what he was saying completely , and i’m having trouble figuring
out the chord progression . like does he say “between beauty in my eyes” or
“between beauty and my eyes”?

great band , great song , couldn’t wait for someone else to try and post it .
