Verse 
     A                                 A 
Your mind sings some lyrics like we're memory 
     A7                           F#m 
Your sad our goodbyes sound nostalgy 
     E                           E6 
Your chords swung me from idolatry 
     D7                        D7 
I'm living like a vagabond, I just can't decide 
A                   A 
When to leave 

         A                                    A 
But it's roots are in the river to my mood it swings 
   A7                       F#m 
A vow even is impossible to keep 
      E                              E6 
Every day is starting on the balance beam 
D7                             D7 
Still you're standing with me, always carrying 
A 
The melody 

G                      G 
Smiling all the while, the paint chips off 
      G     D    A 
Of my Mardi Gras beads

         A                        A 
It's the images contained not the lens or frames 
  A7                               F#m 
Recalled to my mind before I fall asleep 
  E                              E6 
A list of regrets is no place to be 
    D7                      D7  
I'm coming in late but I'll never modulate us 
A                 A 
To a minor key 


G                      G 
Smiling all the while, the paint chips off
