Tortured Artist

Intro 
Dm G Dm G Am G Am G 

 
Am                   G                 Am 
   Feelin' ticklish,    just met a new girl 
               G                  Am 
She's got a tattoo, said she remembers you 
G                            Am    G 
Oh, one day waitin' out the rain 
 

 
Dm                                                          Am    G 
She embroidered the portrait of a tortured artist on your sleeve 
Am    G 
 

 
Am                      G                   Am 
Laugh at your own jokes, ooh wouldn't dare laugh at yourself 
           G 
What a surprise 
              Am              G 
Happy, happy birthday to you 
                         Am              G 
Oh you're mama's little dream come true 
 

 
Dm                                                            Am    G 
She painted the colors of the sunset with her fingers on my teepee 
Am    G 
 

 
C7                                    G 
Likes cold, cold wine, cradled in the evening sky 
                C7                            G 
Drinks in the deep dark reds of romance and poetry 
   C7                           G 
Laughs out loud as movie stars shed their tears 
        Em                    A    G         Am       G 
In her sleep, she dreams.....        with melancholoy

Dm    G 
Am    G 


 
    Am             G              Am 
And I know, I know I'm just like you 
                 G                     Am 
I was leaving in anyway, I'm already gone 
            G                       Am    G 
Still young, though, oozing to the radio 
 

 
        Dm 
Oh, like poetry, a tired cowboy 
                 Am        G 
Who just let his horse run free 
Am   G 

    C            G 
I know, ooh, I'm just like you 
     C              G 
Not goin' anywhere 
          Am 
Feel near gone 
                       G 
There's a van passing fast 
           Am     G 
Moving in stereo 
       Am             G 
I can barely see her face 
           Am 
Or maybe outlines 
        G             C    G    C    G 
I'm not, I can barely see 
Em                 A          G         Am    G 
Even as she sleeps, oh, she laughs out loud 
Am 
Laughing loud
