EmI don't rGemember rCeceivinC/Bg your poAmstcard
GI never gCot much post so it sAmhouldn't have been tEmoo hard
GYou were on hoCliday with your C/Bschool in some FrenAmch town
GAnd when you wCere away I took AmDebbie to the crEmown
FI feel as Cthough the past C/Bis closing in oAmn me
I found a Dmphotograph of Gme and KimbEmerly
I fouGnd your postcaCrd and C/BI put it on Amthe wall
GI found Cyour picture, you know Amtears were bound tEmo fall
GI didn't wriCte your sonC/Bgs when we were Amgoing out
GSo why should I Cstart now, yAmou are not abEmout
FI feel as Cthough the past C/Bis closing in oAmn me
I found a Dmphotograph of Gme and KimbEmerly
We hGardly used Cto even dC/Brink, we didn't Amsmoke
GWe'd walk Chome from the pub 'Amcause we were always Embroke
GSo when your mCother calleC/Bd and said that you weAmre dead
 GI thought she's Ctalking of aAmnother Kim instEmead
FI feel as Cthough the past C/Bis closing in oAmn me
I found a Dmphotograph of Gme and KimbEmerly

C/B

Em G C C/B Am

I don't remember receiving your postcard

G C Am Em

I never got much post so it shouldn't have been too hard

G C C/B Am

You were on holiday with your school in some French town

G C Am Em

And when you were away I took Debbie to the crown

F C C/B Am

I feel as though the past is closing in on me

Dm G Em

I found a photograph of me and Kimberly

G C C/B Am

I found your postcard and I put it on the wall

G C Am Em

I found your picture, you know tears were bound to fall

G C C/B Am

I didn't write your songs when we were going out

G C Am Em

So why should I start now, you are not about

F C C/B Am

I feel as though the past is closing in on me

Dm G Em

I found a photograph of me and Kimberly

G C C/B Am

We hardly used to even drink, we didn't smoke

G C Am Em

We'd walk home from the pub 'cause we were always broke

G C C/B Am

So when your mother called and said that you were dead

G C Am Em

I thought she's talking of another Kim instead

F C C/B Am

I feel as though the past is closing in on me

Dm G Em

I found a photograph of me and Kimberly

G C C/B Am

She said it seemed you accidentally overdosed

G C Am Em

It was so long since I talked to her and once we were so close

G C C/B Am

And I am left with all these things I didn't say

G C Am Em

And a picture of you in my arms, the day you went away

F C C/B Am

I feel as though the past is closing in on me

Dm G Em

I found a photograph of me and Kimberly [x2]
