[Verse 1]
I'Gve been looking through some pictures
That I found in my room
Time mCachines take you back
To the places you once knew
And I rDemember all the things
that I used to care about
And I Crealised that they faded
They don't matter to me now
[Verse 2]
They are Gmoments in a lifetime which I'll never understand
Just a Cglance across the room
A cigarette burn on my hand
Just a sDecond conversation on a sunday afternoon
Or a Ckiss on a bridge
After it's been raining in June
[Bridge]
And Emmaybe I got older
And maybe I can't see
Or maCybe I just realised that I Dwant to be free
[Chorus]
So send my love to the sCystem
Send my love to the syGstem
[Verse 3]
Well GPlaygrounds look like prisons the day after you leave school
And Cexes look like angels
The day before they fall
You get cDaught up with the rose 
tinted glasses on the wall
And you reCmember what they look like
But now what they were called
[Verse 4]
And they will Gsteal away your smile
Some autumn monday morning
They will Chate you
And they will rate you
And they will punish you without warning
And you sDearch for signs of goodness
And you search for signs of life
Till you're sCtanding on a stage
And you're blinded by the lights
[Bridge]
And mEmaybe I got scared
And gave in to the disease
Or mayCbe I just realised that I Dwant to be free
[Chorus]
So send my love to the syCstem
Send my love to the syGstem
[Verse 5]
Where the moGrning's slowly coming
As the pictures gathered dust
As the liCght dances with chemicals
But there is no need to rush
We just siDt here for a while
Till we're ready to go back
We stick our fiCngers up in times
Till the horizon is getting fat
[Verse 6]
But I will tGake something with me
Which I could never found
If I'd have cCarried on going forwards
In those directions we are bound
So I tDhank you little photograph
For giving me a sign
Now I thiCnk I'll have to burn you
Just in case you change your mind
[Bridge]
And mEmaybe I got older
And gave up all my dreams
Or mayCbe I just realised that I Dwant to be free
[Chorus]
So send my love to the sysCtem
Send my love to the sysGtem
[Verse 7]
We're not lGeaving any doorways
We're not losing any speed
But if Cwe die tomorrow
At least we got what we need
AnDd you can carry on
No I'm not judging you at all
Takes us Call different times
To recover from school
[Verse 8]
If you Gever get your empire
I'm sure I'll shake your hand
But I tChink I'll be content
Drawing pictures in the sand
And as Dfor all these photographs lying on the floor
Yes, I'lCl burn them in the morning
'Cause I don't need them anymore
[Bridge]
And mEmaybe I will miss them
In Time we will see
But I Cthink I just realise that I wDant to be free
[Chorus/Ending]
So send my love to the syCstem
Send my love to the syGstem
Send my love to the syCstem
Send my love to the syGstem

Chords in this song · guitar

[Verse 1]

I've been looking through some pictures

That I found in my room

Time machines take you back

To the places you once knew

And I remember all the things

that I used to care about

And I realised that they faded

They don't matter to me now

[Verse 2]

They are moments in a lifetime which I'll never understand

Just a glance across the room

A cigarette burn on my hand

Just a second conversation on a sunday afternoon

Or a kiss on a bridge

After it's been raining in June

[Bridge]

And maybe I got older

And maybe I can't see

C D

Or maybe I just realised that I want to be free

[Chorus]

So send my love to the system

Send my love to the system

[Verse 3]

Well Playgrounds look like prisons the day after you leave school

And exes look like angels

The day before they fall

You get caught up with the rose

tinted glasses on the wall

And you remember what they look like

But now what they were called

[Verse 4]

And they will steal away your smile

Some autumn monday morning

They will hate you

And they will rate you

And they will punish you without warning

And you search for signs of goodness

And you search for signs of life

Till you're standing on a stage

And you're blinded by the lights

[Bridge]

And maybe I got scared

And gave in to the disease

C D

Or maybe I just realised that I want to be free

[Chorus]

So send my love to the system

Send my love to the system

[Verse 5]

Where the morning's slowly coming

As the pictures gathered dust

As the light dances with chemicals

But there is no need to rush

We just sit here for a while

Till we're ready to go back

We stick our fingers up in times

Till the horizon is getting fat

[Verse 6]

But I will take something with me

Which I could never found

If I'd have carried on going forwards

In those directions we are bound

So I thank you little photograph

For giving me a sign

Now I think I'll have to burn you

Just in case you change your mind

[Bridge]

And maybe I got older

And gave up all my dreams

C D

Or maybe I just realised that I want to be free

[Chorus]

So send my love to the system

Send my love to the system

[Verse 7]

We're not leaving any doorways

We're not losing any speed

But if we die tomorrow

At least we got what we need

And you can carry on

No I'm not judging you at all

Takes us all different times

To recover from school

[Verse 8]

If you ever get your empire

I'm sure I'll shake your hand

But I think I'll be content

Drawing pictures in the sand

And as for all these photographs lying on the floor

Yes, I'll burn them in the morning

'Cause I don't need them anymore

[Bridge]

And maybe I will miss them

In Time we will see

C D

But I think I just realise that I want to be free

[Chorus/Ending]

So send my love to the system

Send my love to the system
