[Intro 1]
[G][A][D][Bm][G][A]
[D]A old man gave me

[Verse 1]

a tip he said
[D]"Don't waste your time with
politics" [G]he said
"Just chase [D]skirts [Bm]instead"[G]
"Life is too [D]short,
[A]and your al [Em]most[G] dead"[D] he said
[G]"I met a woman once,
I gave [A]her my best shot"
[G]"But never did I tal[A]k"[D]
"If I [Bm]had her [G]back,
[D]I'd[A] be as real a[Bm]s my age[G]"[D]
[Bm]"I so [G]don't blame them,
[D]I wouldn't do [Bm]the [G]same[D]"
[G]"But I can blame them,
[A]I'd[G] Sing her thi[A]s"
[D]And you[Bm]

But [G]imagery doesn't [A]fit
And [Bm]you [A]want resizing

[Bm]

[Verse 3]
[G]
And I think [D]what I just wrote is
going over [G]my head

Made [G]up in my mind

[G]And [A]you[Bm] want to be dre[A]ssed in poetry[D]
[A]But ima[G]gery doesn't fit[A]
[D]And you[Bm] want[A] res[D]izing
But [G]darling dear get [A]a grip
[D]You're moving

[Verse 5]
[Bm]but
not aware
[G]You're drowsy without a care
Ex[D]cept keeping your
whites behind your lids
[G]And you[Bm]r lids are your best canvas
I [G]can only [D]imagine what [Asus4]your paint[D] ing
[A]And[Bm] your body on my mattress i[G]s proof
[D]And your makeup on your
[Asus4]pillow is[D] pr[Asus4]oof[A][Bm]

[Verse 6]
And I [G]think [D]wha[G]t[A][G][A][Bm]
[A]I just [D]wro[G]te
[Asus4]is going [A]ove[Bm]r my h[A]ead
[G]I'm stealing lines from myself
[A]And[Bm] what I s[A]aid was
[G]never sai[A]d[D]
It's [Bm]just [D]a l[A]yrical lie[G]
Made up in my mind
[A][Bm]
