[Verse]
C
Black and blue

              F
Every time I lean into you

                       C
Think the words don't mean what they do

                  G
Killing me so slow

         C
So it's home instead

              F
Memorize the scars in your bed

               C
Making me see stars in my head

                    G
Baby, you don't know
[Chorus]
F
One tough summer and too much sun

Dm7
The lines get blurry and the colors run

         C                       Em7
And the red bleeds out with the blue

F
Picture of the shape of the way it hurt

Dm7
Planning an escape from beneath your shirt

       C                  G
Do you know I love your tattoo?

       F           F         C      G
Your tattoo...

       Am           D7         F      F           
Your tattoo...
[Verse]
C
You were there

                   F
Little sparks and wire in the air

               C
Everything on fire everywhere

                    G
Punishment and crime

C
Black and white

                    F
It's keeping me up late every night

                  C
Thinking I can't wait, but I might

                  G
Everything in time
[Chorus]
F
Gray gives way to the deepest black

Dm7
Promises you made and can't take back

          C                       Em7
When you look too long, you see through

F
Over on the edge where the ink is thin

Dm7
Coming up close against your skin

       C                 G
Do you know I love your tattoo?

      F         F         C         G
Your tattoo...

      Am         D7         F         F
Your tattoo...
(End on C)
