verse 1
F#m A
He sat down next to the window
D A
By the TV at my bar
D A
He ordered Coke and whiskey
D E
And put something in my jar
F#m A
And old black and white photograph
D A
He hung onto all his life
D A
And his story broke my heart
D Bm E
He said, "She was gonna be my wife"
A E D A
He said, Hey mister, please take this picture
Dsus2 A Bm E
'Cause I don't wanna miss her anymore
A E
Though the corners are tattered and torn
F#m A
She's still the one that I adore
D
Mister, please take this picture

verse 2
F#m A
He told me how they met
D A
How at first sight they fell in love
D A
He didn't have to say what happened
D E
The picture told me what it was
F#m A
Her words in blue there on the back
D A
Had all but been erased
D A
By years of tears and promises
D Bm E
Love lost but not replaced
A E D A
He said, Hey mister, please take this picture
Dsus2 A Bm E
'Cause I don't wanna miss her anymore

Though the corners are tattered and torn

She's still the one that I adore

Mister, please take this

'Cuz I don't wanna miss her anymore"
