LAm  DO  SOL  LAm

    LAm
The pictures tell the story
     DO
This life had many shades
    SOL                         LAm
I'd wake up every morning and before I'd start each day

I'd take a drag from last nights cigarette
     DO
That smoldered in its tray
SOL                         REm                LAm  
Down a little something and then be on my way

  LAm  
I traveled far and wide
              DO
And laid this head in many ports
      SOL
I was guided by a compass
      LAm
I saw beauty to the north

I drew the tales of many lives
             DO
And wore the faces of my own
            SOL
I had these memories all around me
     REm
So I wouldn't be alone
DO
Some may be from showing up
SOL
Others are from growing up
REm                              LAm
Sometimes I was so messed up and didn't have a clue
        DO
I ain't winning no one over
  SOL
I wear it just for you
              REm
I've got your name written here
              
In a rose tattoo

Mischief, gold and piracy

Taught me sacrifice and bravery

This ones for our favorite game
DO
Black and gold, we wave the flag

It stays here for eternity
  SOL
A ship that always stays the course

An anchor for my every choice

A rose that shines down from above
  DO
I signed and sealed these words in blood
  SOL
I heard them once, sung in a song
                                
It played again and we sang along
