Capo 2

D
The moving van is waitin' for the rain to stop
     G           G/F#           Em
Your agent put a sign up in the yard
  A
I wondered was there anything that you'd forgot
  G                                   A
I guess that goodbye's got to be this hard

D
One last look around the rooms that we shared
  G               G/F#           Em
I knew I couldn't stay here by myself
  C     C/B                        A
I saw a box and wondered why you'd left it out
G                                 A 
Right there on the bedroom closet shelf

D
Faded yellow photos of a boy and girl
G              G/F#          Em
Smiling in the blazing Texas sun
   A
It must have been the year before your daddy died
   G                                    A 
He tried to warn me then this day would come


Chorus:
          D                  G              A 
I get the picture though the love has gone away
          D                   G           A 
I get the picture though your memory will fade 
          D
I get the picture.


Change key to D#

Wasn't that the guy you told me you forgot
Oh what's his name who never made you laugh
But I never made you smile the way you're smilin' here
By his side in this faded photograph.

Last night when I met you at your lawyer's house
I wondered 'bout the guy who dropped you off
Guess I'd prob'ly never placed this smiling face
If you hadn't left behind this box.

Chorus

I get the picture...
