F# B F# x2
[Verse 1]
F#B F# Tattoo of the seventh shield
F# A# BStill wet on my skin
C# B D#m G# You're all crumpled up on the curb there
D A E I think I'm gonna take you in
[Verse 2]
F#B F# Always had to follow my instincts
F#A# B Usually, I'm out on my own
C# B D#m G# You there by the road wet and helpless
D A E What happens if I take you home?
[Chorus]
F#You may forget the whys and wheres
Of an old tattoo on your forearm there
B C# D#mBut usually, you recall the day you got one
B C# F# And usually, it fades in the sun
[Verse 3]
F#B F# Headed for a season in exile
F# A# B As the oracle predicted
C# B D#m G# According to reliable sources
D A E In thirty days I'm getting evicted
[Verse 4]
F#B F# Trying not to scratch where it itches
F# A# B It takes a certain level of discipline
C# B D#m G# Not even half a second by the light switch
D A E Let the future flood right in
[Chorus]
F#You may forget the whys and wheres
Of an old tattoo on your forearm there
B C# D#mBut usually, you recall the day you got one
B C# F# And usually, it fades in the sun
[Bridge]
D A Usually, the lines grow faint
E F#m Like old house paint
D A EJust a way to mark the years gone by
DYou lay on the couch
E F#mThree weeks
C# D Until the color came back into your cheeks
A G I'd seen ones like you before
EPlenty came through before
F#
[Verse 5]
F#B F# Legend on the shield in Greek
F# A# B "What's that say?" you said
C# B D#m G# I gave you an answer that I thought you'd buy
G#m C# D#m G#BAll of this will disappear in the twinkling of an eye
[Chorus]
F#You may forget the whys and wheres
Of an old tattoo on your forearm there
B C# D#mBut usually, you recall the day you got one
B C# D#m And usually, it fades in the sun
B F#But not this one
[Outro]
F# D (End on D)
