Tom: A A A A A A [Verse 1] C#m You got a new tattoo Bm And you bought a nice pair of shoes E To remind you who you used to be When life was something brand new A C#m 'Cause now you sleep a little lighter at night And you wake up when the sky gets light Bm E And crawl into the kitchen at dawn D And tell yourself it's alright [Chorus] C#m You swore you didn't want strings attached Bm And to be tethered to the telephone E But now there's no one here to talk to D And you prefer to sleep alone C#m All the chances that you couldn't take Bm Mistakes that you couldnât afford to make E A Well what would it have cost you [Verse 2] C#m When you had a new tattoo Bm And you were only 22 E You had a hole in your shirt A But there was nothing that you couldn't do C#m Now you're standing in the vestibule Bm Wondering how they got the best of you E Now that you do your own laundry D Now that there's always something pressing you [Chorus] C#m You swore you didn't want strings attached E C#m Bm And to be tethered to the telephone E But now there's no one here to talk to D And you prefer to sleep alone E C#m All them chances that you couldn't take Bm Mistakes that you couldn't afford to make E E Oh and what would it have cost you? [Instrumental] A C#m Bm E A C#m E Bm E D [Bridge] D C#m Well your dad is gonna cover away Bm And mom is gonna say it's okay E When you call them every Monday at 9 D And tell them that it's going fine C#m All your friends, they just exhaust you Bm You could've left, but where would you go off to? E E Oh, and what would it have cost you? [Verse 3] A C#m So you got a new tattoo Bm To make you feel something new E The sign of a cross on your thigh A And you don't even really know why C#m But you're hoping that it marks the end Bm Of a time that you could just forget E So you call it a draw for the night A And you tell yourself it's alright
