Intro 2x: Am C G Am

Am
The pictures tell the story
C
This life has many shades
G                                 Am
I'd wake up every morning and before I'd start each day
Am
I'd take a drag from last nights cigarette
C
That smoldered in it's tray
G                                                  Dm
Down a little something and then be on my way

Am
I traveled far and wide
 C
And laid this head in many ports
G
I was guided by a compass
Am
I saw beauty to the north
Am
I drew the tales of many lives
C
And wore the faces of my own
G
I had these memories all around me
Dm
So I wouldn't be alone

Pre-chorus:

C
Some may be from showing up
G
Others are from growing up
Dm                                         Am
Sometimes I was so messed up and didn't have a clue
C
I ain't winning no one over
G
I wear it just for you
Dm
I've got your name written here
Am
In a rose tattoo

Am

It played again and we sang along
