My Darkroom

F           Bb
Stop down
Bb
let a little less light
          C
into the room
F           Bb
grainy eyes
Bb              
a little out of focus
            C
wherever I look

C           Am
I wasn't an only child
           F
but in my darkroom
       Bb
I can see why you'd think so

F               Bb
Put me in view
Bb
I'm seeing less of you
  F
a lesson I learned
        Dm
when I started to earn
        Bb
my own livelihood
     F                Bb
that money is only as good
    C               Bb    Dm
for me as it is for you

I was a lonely child
and in my darkroom
you can see why that is so

C                   Dm
Sorry you couldn't stay
C               Bb
everything is a blur
C                   Dm
every trace of your days
F             Bb
spent with me now

Sorry I couldn't say
everything that I thought
all the memories decay
caught on film now

Won't you smile now
pull aside the curtains
don't blink your eyes
so uncertain
where to put your arms
if not on mine

Misremembered memories
of you and I
I can see they're worth keeping

Nothing is perfect, love
but in my darkroom
I can make it look so
