[Intro]
F  G  Am  x2

[Verse 1]
F         G              
I have a secret I want to 
  Am
tell you
F                 G       
Each time that I close my 
           Am
eyes I can see you
F      G                Am
I run away with my imagination
        F                G     
And I'm blinded by your light, 
                 Am
you fill up the room
         F  G  Am
Ooh whoa oh
F         G            
I have a secret I need 
   Am
to tell you
F          G              
Exquisite visions fill up 
   Am
my mind, 
do you remember me?

Exquisite visions fill up my mind, 
do you remember me?

How to play Taking Pictures Of You: key, chords and progression

This is the chords of Taking Pictures Of You by The Kooks (cover by Camille Jansen) on Piano, Ukulele, Guitar and Keyboard.

Taking Pictures Of You by Camille Jansen sits in A minor (no sharps or flats), and you need 3 chords to play it: F, G and Am.

The progression the song keeps returning to is F – G – Am – F (VI – VII – i – VI in A minor). Learn these 4 changes first and most of the song falls into place.

Easier on guitar: put a capo on the 5th fret and play the shapes C, D, Em (100% of the chords become easy open shapes, against 67% without a capo). It sounds exactly the same.
