verse 1
      D MajorD      (D/F#D/F#)   G+G
When you've hitched every highway, and rode all the rails
    A augmentedA    (A9A9 A augmentedA)       D MajorD   D/AD/A
You're no longer afraid of the dark
     D MajorD       D/F#D/F#   G+G
You get tougher than leather and harder than nails
      E MajorE       E7E7       A augmentedA   A augmentedA G/BG/B A7/C#
When you've earned all the scars on your heart

verse 2
 D MajorD     D/F#D/F#  G+G     G/EG/E
Hobos and heroes, bankers and bums
  A augmentedA     G+G      D MajorD
In some ways we're all the same
  D MajorD     D/F#D/F#     G+G
We all have to pay for the deeds that we've done
   A augmentedA       A augmentedA A9A9  A augmentedA   D MajorD
And wind up just dragging those chains

B minorBm             F# minorF#m     G+G
Life paints a picture that time can't erase
 E minorEm     D/F#D/F#     Asus4Asus4 A augmentedA
Sometimes it cuts like a knife
B minorBm       F# minorF#m     G+G
Sooner or later one way or another
 E minorEm       A augmentedA G/BG/B A7/C# (D MajorD)
We all wear the tattoos of  life

Instrumental

verse 3
   D MajorD    D/F#D/F#      G+G      G/EG/E
The glory in living is just running the race
A augmentedA        G+G     D MajorD   D/AD/A
Not whether you win our you fail
   D MajorD      D/F#D/F#      G+G
The lines like a road map will show on your face
     A augmentedA        A augmentedA A9A9 A augmentedA  D MajorD   D MajorD
And your eyes tell the rest of the tale

Refrain
B minorBm             F# minorF#m     G+G
Life paints a picture that time can't erase
 E minorEm     D/F#D/F#     Asus4Asus4 A augmentedA
Sometimes it cuts like a knife
B minorBm       F# minorF#m     G+G
Sooner or later one way or another
 E minorEm       A augmentedA G/BG/B A7/C# (D MajorD)
We all wear the tattoos of  life
