    Am
The pictures tell the story

     C
This life had many shades

    G                           Am
I'd wake up every morning and before I'd start each day

           Am
I'd take a drag from last nights cigarette

       C
That smoldered in its tray

G                           Dm
Down a little something and then be on my way

  Am
I traveled far and wide

I was guided by a compass

           Am
I drew the tales of many lives

             C

I've got your name written here

A ship that always stays the course

An anchor for my every choice

A rose that shines down from above

I signed and sealed these words in blood

I heard them once, sung in a song
It played again and we sang along [Link] (One strum per chord) Am C G Am [Verse 5] (Pick up strum)
