DmYou've got me captured
BbI'm under your spell
CI guess I'll never learnA  C  
I have your picture
Yes I know it well
Another page is turned
DmAre you for real?
BbIt's so hard to tell
CFrom just a magazineA  C  
DmYeah, you just smile and Bbthe picture sells
CLook what that does to meA  C  
DmI'll wait 
Bb'Til your love comes down
CI'm coming straight for your heartA  
DmNo way
BbYou can stop me now
CAs fine as you aAre
I wrote a letter
And told her these words
That meant a lot to me
I never sent it
She wouldn't have heard
Her eyes don't follow me
And while she watches
I can never be free
Such good photography
CHORUS
(Guitar Solo)
You can't imagine
What your image means
The pages come alive
Your magic free
To everyone who reads
Heartbreakin' motor drive
Are you for real?
It's so hard to tell
From just a magazine
Yeah, you just smile and the picture sells
Look what that does to me
CHORUS x 2
I'll wait
