================================
NOTES:
1. Use barre chords (root on the E string) with a ska/reggae rhythm.
2. E should be played as a C-shaped barre chord (root on the A string).
3. These lyrics and chords/tab are only how I interpreted the song, so feel free to
experiment/substitute/comment/etc. if you disagree!
4. Enjoy!

I took your pictures down and off the wall today

Every time I look at them I think of yesterday
DDmA
And I'm sorry but it's time I pack our life away

I thought about you when I made the bed today
AC#
The left pillow untouched where your head used to lay
DDmA
Don't be sorry, things will be better off this way
CHORUS:
AC#DDm
Don't be afraid to say how it is
