Verse: (picking described above)
BI remember when a photograph was worth E
A thousand G#mwords
A thousand F#words
BNow a thousand pictures come my way,E every day
and I G#mlike them all the same but they can't taF#ke my breath away
BI'm fighting the temptation not to Elook
But I'm still G#mleafing through the pages like the woF#rld's my open book
BWhy don't I got something else to Edo?
Feeling G#mtrapped behind the viewfinder to shF#are it all with you
But that's Enot what it's about
PreChorus:
G#m* F#*
I'm so tired of missing out
***Pluck only the low E and the B strings of these chords***
Chorus:
I look on Eup
To the F#sky
I wonder G#mwhy I put a filter between bBeauty and my eyes
I look on Eup
To your F#eyes
It's time I G#mput down my devices and I sBtart to live my life
I look on Eup
I look on F#up
To the Bsky
Intro x2
Verse 2:
BHave you ever tried to photograph the Emoon?
Well I have G#mtoo
Yeah I have F#too
BFind it funny how it never turns out Eright
It's like G#msomeone poked a pinhole in the caF#nvas of the night
And that's Enot what it's about
Prechorus:
G#m* F#*
I'm so tired of missing out
***Pluck only the low E and the B strings of these chords***
Chorus:
I look on Eup
To the F#sky
I wonder G#mwhy I put a filter between bBeauty and my eyes
I look on Eup
To your F#eyes
It's time I G#mput down my devices and I sBtart to live my life
I look on Eup
I look on F#up
To the Bsky
Bridge:
Cause it's a ENick Drake Pink Moon seeing the Pines
In the paF#cific north west for the first time. I cannot believG#me my eyes.
Yeah I'm F#singing out loud in the middle of the night
On the G#mbalcony in BBrisbane looking up iEnto the sky
Into the F#sky
E B*
It's time I put down my devices and I start to live my life
***Pluck only the low E and the B strings of this chord***

That's it! Comment or email if you have any suggestions, though I am fairly certain a
majority of this is
exactly how Thiessen plays it live.
