Having My Picture Taken

Boomtown Rats - Having my picture taken

E (G# F# E) E (G# F# E) G#m x2

E                        G#m
My camera sees things my eyes can't see.
E                              G#m
I have it focused from here to eternity.
B
Catch the moment, catch the light, catch your breath.
       E
Let me freeze your frame.
B 
 We'll synchronize machine and brain.

Chorus:
          C#m
But (Hey) don't mind me...
    A                 B
I'm having my picture taken.

E                           G#m
I can choose each day who I want to be.
E                               G#m
You can choose each day who you want to see.
B                                                    E
We'll scan the crowd and pan the rounds of all those distant scenes.
B
 Immortalize a slice of time.

(repeat Chorus)

Refrain:

C#m
Flash: another instant in an instamatic.
B
Click: another reflex set on automatic.
C#m
Snap: another moment of the life dramatic.
A                                        B
You really should have been there it was so fantastic.
