Tattoo

	  		 
Verse 1:
C               E          F 
I've never been tattooed, no reason to put one on 
                C                    E                 F 
Like a favorite song, I tend to wimp out and I never go through 
C               E          F 
And everyday I see all the pretty girls around me 
              C                    E             F 
And all their tattoos and many questions they receive 


Dm                      G 
But I wish I was a tattoo 
                                     C E F 
So I'd know I meant something to you 
                                 C E F 
I'd know I meant something to you
 

Verse 2:
               C                       E 
I wanna be the words written down your side 
               F 
I wanna be the secret you have to hide 
                   C                E 
I'd settle for the one you'd rather erase 
                      F 
But I'd rather be the flowers wrapped around your waist 
                 C                     E 
I want to be the arrow, the heart, the name 
                F 
I'd even be the cover-up to hide your shame 

 
               Dm     G 
I wish I was a tattoo 
                                     C E F 
So I'd know I meant something to you 
                             C E F 
Know I meant something to you 


Verse 3:
 
                   C            E 
I wish it could be so black and white 
            F 
A moment in time you remember for life 
              C                           E 
I wanna start conversations that wouldn’t otherwise 
                 F 
Encourage you to roll up your sleeves all night 
               Am 
I wanna be the reason fingers meet 
              F                       C 
I wanna catch tears rolling down your cheek 

 

               Dm     G 
I wish I was a tattoo 
                                     C E F 
So I'd know I meant something to you 
                              C E F 
Know I meant something to you 
                              C E F 
Know I meant something to you 
                              C E F 
Know I meant something to you 


Outro 
          G               C               F 
It may be silly, but it’s one way to your heart 
              G             C             F 
We had a good run, but it’s time for us to part 
                G           Am     G     F 
It’s times like these, that send me to my knees 

Chorus 
               Dm     G 
I wish I was a tattoo 
                                     C E F 
So I'd know I meant something to you 
                              C E F 
Know I meant something to you 
                                     C E F 
So I'd know I meant something to you 
                              C E F 
Know I meant something to you
