Hey I'm Alex IV. This is my first tab. So for all you bad ass tab makers, just know this is my first. Intro: AmFCG (2x) Verse One:
     Am    F
An old man gave me a tip he said

         C   G                          Am  F
"Don't waste your time with politics" he said

         C      G       
"Just chase skirts instead"

Am F                C    G                 Am F           C     G
      "And life is too short, and you're almost dead" he said

    F                G
"I met a woman once, gave her my best shot"

 F                       G
"But never did I talk and talk and talk"

Am              F C G    Am          F             C G
"If I had her back,      I'd be as real as my age"

Am           F     C G     Am           F        C  G

Am           F     G      Am        F   G
"But I can blame them, I'd sing her this"
Chorus:
Am                  G    
And you want to be dressed in poetry

F                   G
But imagery doesn't fit

And you want resizing

But darling dear get a grip

AmF                C G                              Am F
         And I think what I just wrote is going over my head

C    G                 Am    F
I'm stealing lines from myself

C                G      Am  F     C  G
And what I said was never said

It's just a lyrical lie

Made up in my mind

But darling dear get a grip
Bridge:
Am
You're moving but not aware

F
You're drowsy without a care

C                                  G
Except keeping your whites behind your lids

Am
And your lids are your best canvas

F                  C                     G
I can only imagine what you're painting, what you're painting

Am                   F
And your body on my mattress is proof

C                     G
And your makeup on my pillow is proof

Am          F                  C      G
But do you think I am telling you the truth

F                      G
It's just a lyrical lie

F                G
Made up in my mind
Chorus:
Am                  G    
And you want to be dressed in poetry

F                   G
But imagery doesn't fit

Am               G
And you want resizing

             F         G
But darling dear get a grip

Am                  G    
And you want to be dressed in poetry

F                   G

Am               G
And you want resizing

       F             G Am
But darling dear get a grip
