verse 1
G
I've been looking through some pictures
That I found in my room
C
Time machines take you back
To the places you once knew
D
And I remember all the things
that I used to care about
C
And I realised that they faded
They don't matter to me now
verse 2
G
They are moments in a lifetime which I never understand
C
Just a glance across the room
Cigarette burnin' on my hand
D
Just a second conversation on a sunday afternoon
C
Or a kiss on a bridge
After it's been raining in June
Bridge
Em
And maybe I got older
C
And maybe I can't see
D
Or maybe I just realised that I want to be free
C
So send my love to the system
G
Send my love to the system
verse 3
G
Well Playgrounds look like prisons the day after you leave school
C
And exes look like angels
The day before they fall
D
You get caught up with the rose
In the glasses on the wall
C
And you remember what they look like
And know what they will call
verse 4
G
And there was still a way you smile
Some autumn monday morning
C
They will hate you
And they will rage you
And they will punish you without warning
D
And you search for signs of goodness
And you search for signs of life
C
Till you're standing on a stage
And you're blinded by the lights
Bridge
Em
And maybe I got scared
C
And gave in to the disease
D
Or maybe I just realised that I want to be free
C
So send my love to the system
G
Send my love to the system
Verse 5
G
Where the morning's slowly coming
As the pictures gathered dust
C
As the light dances with chemicals
But there is no need to rush
D
We just sit here for a while
Till we're ready to go back
C
We stick our fingers up in times
Till the horizon is getting fat
Verse 6
G
But I will take something with me
Which I could never found
C
If I'd have carried on going forwards
In those directions we are bound
D
So I thank you little photograph
For giving me a sign
C
Now I think I'll have to burn you
Just in case you change your mind
Bridge
Em
And maybe I got older
C
And gave up all my dreams
D
Or maybe I just realised that I want to be free
C
So send my love to the system
G
Send my love to the system
Verse 7
G
We're not leaving any doorways
We're not losing any speed
C
But if we die tomorrow
At least we got what we need
D
And you can carry on
No I'm not judging you at all
C
Takes us all different times
To recover from school
Verse 8
G
If you ever get your empire
I'm sure I'll shake your hand
C
But I think I'll be content
Drawing pictures in the sand
D
And as for all these photographs lying on the floor
C
Yes, I'll burn them in the morning
'Cause I don't need them anymore
Bridge
Em
And maybe I will miss them
C
In Time we will see
D
But I think I just realise that I want to be free
C
So send my love to the system
G
Send my love to the system
C
Send my love to the system
G
Send my love to the system
