G#m F# Feeling trapped behind the viewfinder to share it all with you E But that's not what it's about [Pre-Chorus] G#m* F#* I'm so tired of missing out ***Pluck only the low E and the B strings of these chords*** [Chorus] E I look on up F# To the sky G#m B I wonder why I put a filter between beauty and my eyes E I look on up F# To your eyes G#m B It's time I put down my devices and I start to live my life E I look on up F# I look on up B To the sky [Interlude] [Verse 2] B E Have you ever tried to photograph the moon? G#m Well I have too F# Yeah I have too B E Find it funny how it never turns out right G#m F# It's like someone poked a pinhole in the canvas of the night E And that's not what it's about [Pre-Chorus] G#m* F#* I'm so tired of missing out ***Pluck only the low E and the B strings of these chords*** [Chorus] E I look on up F# To the sky G#m B I wonder why I put a filter between beauty and my eyes E I look on up F# To your eyes G#m B It's time I put down my devices and I start to live my life E I look on up F# I look on up [Bridge] (fingerpicked by chord as the verse is, but use the order of chords listed here) E Cause it's a Nick Drake Pink Moon seeing the Pines G#m F# E In the pacific north west for the first time. I cannot believe my eyes. E Yeah I'm singing out loud in the middle of the night G#m F# E On the balcony in Brisbane looking up into the sky F# Into the sky G#m B* It's time I put down my devices and I start to live my life ***Pluck only the A and the B strings of this chord*** [Instrumental] E F# G#m B E F# G#m B [Chorus] E I look on up F# To the sky G#m B I wonder why I put a filter between beauty and my eyes E I look on up F# To your eyes G#m B It's time I put down my devices and I start to live my life E I look on up F# I look on up B To the sky (straight into verse 3) [Verse 3] B E Have you ever tried to photograph the moon? G#m Well I have too F#* I have too ***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 on the studio track and live.
