Dm9            G6              C 
I talk to your photograph each day 
Dm9                 G6              A7 
You should hear the lovely things I say 
F9                Fm            Cmaj7 
But I thought how happy I would be 
Am           D                   G    G+ 
If your photograph could talk to me. 
  
     C                        G 
If I had a talking picture of you, 
        G7                       C 
I would run it every time I felt blue. 
        A7                           Dm 
I would sit there in the gloom of my lonely little room 
       D9                               G         G+ 
And applaud each time you whispered, "I love you; love you." 
       C                             G 
On the screen the moment you came in view 
         G7                            E 
We would talk the whole thing over, we two. 
        Am                
I would give ten shows a day, and a midnight matinée, 
     Dm            G7         C 
If I had a talking picture of you. 
 
  
Dm9           G6           C 
All I have to keep me company 
Dm9         G6                A7 
Is the photograph you gave to me 
F9          Fm                 Cmaj7 
I propose a thousand plans but oh 
Am               D             G 
It don't answer 'Yes' or even 'No'
