Song

Fifteen Minutes Old

by Snow Patrol (off the album "Songs For Polar Bears", 1999)

Standard tuning.

This sounds right to me, sweet song this :). There's only one guitar in it.

Finger pick it all. Enjoy!

LYRICS

_____________________________________________________________________________

VERSE

I'm good for inspiration, aren't I?

You will find

Close the door and I'll go anywhere

You take me to

From this bed onto so

Much more

Care for you I will

CHORUS

Can I have a picture of you tonight?

Keep it with me always in my mind

VERSE

Touch me 'cos I can't move

I can barely breathe

Speechless, breathless, I can't tell you

If I'm here or not

Running both legs tied together

Arms in the air

Care for you, I will

CHORUS

Can I have a picture of you tonight?

Keep it with me always in my mind

OUTRO

Can't feel nothing(?)

Can't feel it
