HOW TO PLAY THIS SONG (BEST IF PLAYED ACOUSTIC)
---------------------
FIRST - tune your high E string down to B. Second, to play the song in it's original
key, set your CAPO on the 5th fret. I have done the sheet music below so that you may
slide the capo down the neck if the original key is too high for your voice. This method
will not only sound PRETTY CLOSE TO THE ORIGINAL, it will allow you to easily change the
key of the song.
**Be sure to play the chords exactly as I've demonstrated below.
I personaly sing and play this song capo on on the third fret. If you'd like to hear
a .mp3 of me singing and playing this acoustically for learning purposes please email

B F# A
Look at this photograph, Everytime I do it makes me laugh
E B
How did our eyes get so red, And what the hell is on Joey's head
F# A
And this is where I grew up, I think the prison outa fix it up
E
I never knew we'd ever went without,
B
The second floor is hard for sneaking out
F#
And this is where I went to school,
A
Most of the time I'd better things to do
E
Criminal records said I've broke in twice,
B
I must have done it half a dozen times
F# A
I wonder if its too late, Should I go back and try to graduate
E
Last man and now that it was back then,
D1
If I was them I wouldn't let me in
E2
Oh oh oh - Oh god I am
_______________________________________________________
CHORUS
B
Every memory of looking out the back door
F#
I have a photo album spread out on my bedroom floor
A E
Its hard to say it, time to say it, Goodbye, goodbye
B
Every memory of walking out the front door
F#
I found the photo of the friend that I was looking for
A E B
Its hard to say it, time to say it, Goodbye, goodbye

VERSE 2
B F# A
Remember the old arcade, blew every dollar that we ever made
E B
The cops seeing us hanging out, they say somebody went and burned it down
F# A
We used to listen to the radio, And sing along with every song we know
E
We said someday we'd find out how if feels,
B
To sing to more than just the steering wheel
F# A
Kim's the first girl I kissed , I was so nervous that I nearly missed
E
She's had a couple of kids since then,
D1
I haven't seen her since god knows when
E2
Oh oh oh - Oh god I am
*** CHORUS TO BRIDGE ***

AT THE END OF THE 2nd CHORUS PLAY:
E G1 to A2
Goodbye, Goodbye

BRIDGE
B F# D1
I miss that town, I miss those faces,
E2 B
You can't erase, You can't replace it
F# D1
I miss it now, I can't believe it
E2 B
So hard to stay, So hard to leave it
F# A
If I could I relive those days, I know the one that would never change
** CHORUS TO END
END
B F#
Look at this photograph
A
Everytime I do it makes me laugh
E
Everytime I do it makes me
