You can close your eyes 

       E 
And see a picture perfect life 

D           E 
Inside of your mind 

Gbm                            E  
Dreaming only of the days ahead 

                 D 
Wanted and wished for more than now 

E 
Or the days behind 

   Gbm 
You waste your time 

        D 
The picture makes a promise 

     A              E 
The flesh lets it be broken 

      D 
The picture makes a promise 

     A              E 
The flesh lets it be broken 

Gbm  /  E  /  D  /  E   

You can never think 
You can't even stop yourself 
Before the words have been spoken 
And you've already said 
You would give everything 
And something for nothing 
Everybody thinks you're joking 

   D  /  A  /  E   
  
The picture makes a promise 
The flesh lets it be broken 
The picture makes a promise 
The flesh lets it be broken 

Gbm  /  E  /  D  /  E 

You want to be the one 
Made over be your own 
Before and after 
And a supermarket 
Beauty in a bottle queen 
Who'll one day grace a check-out counter 
Magazine front cover 
Though the fine print reads 

   D  /  A  /  E  /  Gbm 

The picture makes a promise 
The flesh lets it be broken 
The picture makes a promise 
The flesh lets it be broken 

D  /  E   

Lets it be broken 
Lets it be broken 
Lets it be broken 
Lets it be broken 
Lets it be broken 
Broken 
Broken 

Gbm  /  E  /  D  /  E 

When your life is never what you wanted 
Not even halfway normal 
Just tarnished and soiled 
When in your reach 
A framed and frozen moment 
So far from perfection 
Not truth or transcendence 
Will set you free 
Still you don't believe 

   D  /  A  /  E  /  Gbm 

The picture makes a promise 
The flesh lets it be broken 
The picture makes a promise 
The flesh lets it be broken
