The pictures tell the story

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

C

Some may be from showing up

G

Others are from growing up

Dm

Sometimes I was so messed

Am

up and didn’t have a clue

I ain’t winning no one over

I wear it just for you

I’ve got your name written here

In a rose tattoo

I heard them once, sung in a song

It played again and we sang along
