Chords

A really deep cut off of Sam Beam's discography. The half-step-down tuning is just to match the recording, which is decidedly in Db major. You can play it just fine with standard tuning in the key of D major. [Intro] x2 D Bm G D G G A A [Verse 1]
D                Bm
Reading letters, ancient coins

    G               D
And pockets full of earth

            G
Chance I'll see you

       A
Next December
[Verse 2]
D                Bm
Bathtub running, joining hands

    G          D
And naked as a bird

         G
That's a vision

       A
I'll remember
[Verse 3]
D               Bm
Pull the covers off the bed

    G              D
The papers off the ground

      G
Now a baby

            A
Walks where you do
[Verse 4]
D                 Bm
Take her book off of the shelf

    G               D
And put your teacup down

        G
Know my hopes

      A
Lay beside you
[Chorus]
         G             D
You're a camera set in motion

       G              A
Take a picture of the ocean

          G           D
Catch the seagull up above

       G               A
Make a whisper of your love
[Interlude] x2 D Bm G D G G A A [Verse 5]
D                 Bm
Cut your hair and watch it grow

     G                 D
This time to reach the floor

         G
You're a beauty

       A
In the family
[Verse 6]
D                Bm
Spend your money for the month

   G              D
He can afford you more

          G
Keep your courage

       A
Like a memory
[Chorus]
         G             D
You're a camera set in motion

       G              A
Take a picture of the ocean

          G           D
Catch the seagull up above

       G               A
Make a whisper of your love
[Interlude] x2 D Bm G D G G A A [Na-na-na Section] G G D D G G A A G G D D G G A A D
