The pictures tell the story
G
This life has many shades
D Em
I’d wake up every morning and before I’d start each day
Em
I’d take a drag from last nights cigarette
G
That smoldered in it’s tray
D Em
Down a little something and then be on my way
I traveled far and wide
G
And laid this head in many ports
D
I was guided by a compass
Em
I saw beauty to the north
I drew the tales of many lives
G
And wore the faces of my own
D
I had these memories all around me
Am
So I wouldn’t be alone
G
Some may be from showing up
D
Others are from growing up
Am Em
Sometimes I was so messed up and didn’t have a clue
G
I ain’t winning no one over
D
I wear it just for you
Am
I’ve got your name written here
