Intro a C G a x2

The pictures tell the story a
This life has many shades C
I'd wake up every morning G
and before I'd start each day a

I'd take a drag from last night's cigarette a
That smoldered in it's tray C
Down a little something G
and then be on my way d

a

I traveled far and wide a
And laid this head in many ports C
I was guided by a compass G
I saw beauty to the north a

I drew the tales of many lives a
And wore the faces of my own C
I had these memories all around me G
So I wouldn't be alone d

Some may be from showing up C
Others are from growing up G
Sometimes I was so messed up d
and didn't have a clue a

I ain't winning no one over C
I wear it just for you G
I've got your name written here d
In a rose tattoo d

Mischief, gold and piracy C

Taught me sacrifice and bravery a

This one's for our favorite game a
Black and gold, we wave the flag C
This one's for my family name G
With pride I wear it to the grave d

This one means the most to me F
Stays here for eternity C
A ship that always stays the course G
An anchor for my every choice a

A rose that shines down from above F
I signed and sealed these words in blood C
I heard them once, sung in a song G
It played again and we sang along G

Even if you're gone C
You'll always have my love G
