FOUNTAIN OF SORROW - Jackson Browne (Album: Late for the sky) Intro |Dm |Bb |Bb |F | |Dm |C |Bb |F |
DmLooking through some Cphotographs I Bbfound inside a Fdrawer I was Dmtaken by a Cphotograph of Bbyou F There were Dmone or two I Cknow that you would have Bbliked a little Fmore But they Dmdidn't show your Cspirit quite as Bbtrue F
You were Amturning 'round to see who was beFhind you And I Amtook your childish laughter by Csurprise C/Bb And at the Bb/Fmoment that my camera happened to Dmfind you There was Gmjust a trace of Bbsorrow in your Feyes
Now the Dmthings that I reCmember seem so Bbdistant and so Fsmall Though it Dmhasn't really Cbeen that long a Bbtime F What DmI was seeing Cwasn't what was Bbhappening at all F Although Dmfor a while, our Cpath did seem to Bbclimb F
But when Amyou see through love's illusions, there lies the Fdanger And yoAmur perfect lover just looks like a perfect Cfool C/Bb So you go rBb/Funning off in search of a perfect Dmstranger While the Gmloneliness seems to Bbspring from your life Like a FfountainC/E from a Dmpool C/E Dm C
Bb F/C A/C# Dm ( C ) Fountain of sorrow, fountain of light Bb F/C A/C# Dm ( C ) You've known that hollow sound of your own steps in flight
BbYou've had to F/Chide sometimes, but A/C#now you're all Dmright F/C Bb/C And it's good to see your smiling face tonight

Now for Dmyou and me it Cmay not be that Bbhard to reach our Fdreams But that Dmmagic feeling Cnever seems to Bblast F And while the Dmfuture's there for Canyone to changeBb, still you know it's Fseems It would be Dmeasier someCtimes to change the Bbpast F
I'm just Amone or two years and a couple of changes behFind you In my Amlessons at love's pain and heartache Cschool C/Bb Where if you Bb/Ffeel too free and you need something to reDmmind you There's this Gmloneliness springing Bbup from your life Like a FfountainC/E from a Dmpool C/E Dm C
Bb F/C A/C# Dm ( C ) Fountain of sorrow, fountain of light Bb F/C A/C# Dm ( C ) You've known that hollow sound of your own steps in flight
BbYou've had to F/Chide sometimes but A/C#now you're all Dmright F/C Bb/C And it's good to see your smiling face tonight
