Chorus:
Dm                    Gm
All I wanted comes in colors
             F
Vanish everyday
               Dm              Am
I keep these promises, these promises
Dm                          Gm
Stranger things will come before you
                   F
Always out of the way

We keep these promises, these promises

Portrait of a
Gm                        F
Young girl waiting for a new year

All you ever wanted

Is it getting away?
Gm            F
Visions of a feeling
     A#
The footsteps at bay
D#                Gm
You were getting stronger
 F       A#
Memories again
D#               Gm
Now you're open wider

It's better this way

Chorus

F                  A#
Won't you write a letter
        F
On the page
             Am
In your own way
F               A#
Write it in a letter
        F
On the page
              Am
It's your own way

You were getting wiser
It's better this way
Faces in the mirror
Memories again
Now look to a feeling
It's lighter than breath
All you ever wanted
Is it getting away?

Can you call it? See it coming
Just enough to tell a story
'Bout a portrait of a young girl
Waiting for the ending of an era
Can you call it? See it coming
Just enough to tell a story
'Bout a portrait of a young girl
Waiting for the new year
