[Intro]
Bm A G   Bm A Em
Bm A G   D A Em


[Verse 1]
    Bm
I'm pickin' up a new vibe
Bm
It's nothing too much
A       D             A         Em
Antenna says I may be losing my touch
    Bm
I'm hanging round a bee-hive
Bm
Feeling the buzz
     A         D                    A        Em
It's hard to explain let's say it's simply because
G          D
I like the rough
G    A               Bm
Much more than these smooth…


[Chorus]
 A           G
…Pictures of you
        Bm  A          Em
They're too good to be true
   Bm  A           D     G
So I'm trusting my eyes again
D             A Em
These cameras never lie


[Verse 2]
Bm
Giving up a day job
Bm
Working at night
       A          D            A          Em
You're looking so fine in that cool amber light
       Bm
You're running with a new mob
Bm
Working the crowd
    A             D  A               Em
The final result? Oh should make you proud


[Pre-Chorus]
C                                    G
Forgive me asking, I can't help saying
Am                                            G
But what you got there, thе price you're paying
       Em
In the light of day, what do I see
    G                D        G         A
For what it's worth, seems no bеtter to me


[Chorus]
Bm    G           A
These pictures of you
    Bm  A          Em
Are too good to be true
Bm  A        G
I'm using my eyes again
D             A Em
These cameras never lie


[Bridge]
C                  Am
You got it, you're down and dirty
       D
You're made for pleasure
C                        Am
The frame is frozen, you watch the birdie
       D
You're made to measure
A#
Ah-ah, look at you now
  Am
Oh-oh, stand out in a crowd
    Gm               F
The real you showing up on your face
F#
Your hair is blowing all over the place
F#
Ha-ha-ha-ha


[Guitar Solo]
Bm A G   Bm A E
Bm A G   D A E  G A


[Chorus]
Bm     A           G
Smooth pictures of you
    Bm  A          Em
Are too good to be true
   Bm  A           G
So I'm trusting my eyes again
D             A Em
These cameras never lie


[Outro]
