Drawing A Tattoo

 
D          G 
Drawing a tattoo 
D            G 
Hands like a bird 
F#m                           A 
Came back to mine like you promised, you would 
  G                   A 
Crawled through the window 
 F#m         G 
Dirt in your teeth 
 Em                        G 
If you're lying down with me 

Instrumental:

D          G 
I started talking 
D               G 
And I found your keys 
F#m                          A 
And we spent the day in my childhood sheets 
       G      A            D          G 
Said nobody out there would listen to me 
     Em           A 
'Til I started listening 
 

 
            G            A            F#m           G 
You'll get taller, and smarter, and grow up without me 
     G         A           F#m               G 
And I like to think that we're at the same speed 
              G           A           Bm          Em 
But there's a person who stays and a person who leaves 
             G                A 
You said I gotta keep moving 
 

 
 D          G 
Mom got a second job 
 D          G 
And dad's still dead 
 F#m                                  A 
I'm doing better, but I'm losing my hometown friends 
 G   A     F#m              G 
You forgot everything that you said 
 A 
But I didn't 
     G        A           D 
And I kinda laugh 'cause I knew that it'd happen 
    G         A        D          G 
But I can't help but wish that you didn't 
     G              A           Bm          G 
Then you caught me talking like I'm so much bigger 
          Em                   A 
You said I'm in the shoes that I left you in 
 

 
D              G 
Right before college, 
D                G 
your dad's out of town 
F#m                  A 
You fit a lightbulb inside of your mouth 
G                A 
You were talking so big 
Bm                        G 
Then you were mumbling so proud 
         Em                          A 
But the joke's that you can't get it out 
D           G                D           G 
White room blue curtains and two plastic bags 
          F#m          A 
With the hardest that I've ever laughed 
G         A        Bm         G 
Think we found it 'for anyone did 
Em                           A 
Back when it was safe to be stupid 
 

 
      G         A           D           G 
You call me to tell me you got a girl pregnant 
      G         A            D             G 
You're keeping the baby, you're leaving Connecticut 
G          A          Bm             G 
I started giggling, you cried on the phone 
Em                  A 
Said you felt like before 

                 G        A                 D      G 
So you learn to like the sound of a girl falling asleep 
G                 A               D               G 
You sign up for things that you swore you'd never need 
                 G            A          Bm          G 
'Cause there's a person who stays and a person who leaves
