Lovejoy – Portrait Of A Blank Slate (Guitar)

G#m
He told me that much and now he's dead

E
Taught me to kill my indulgences

C#m
With a sharp blow to the temple

G#m               D#
Pick up the phone call and do everything he says

G#m
I could take a plastic camera

E
We could make such a pretty picture

C#m
Oh, so happy, oh, oh, so happy

G#m             D#
I'm pretty cool once you get to know me

G#m***
I feel at some point, I broke my mind

E***
I'm always searching the silent type

C#m***
How do you all make it look so easy?

G#m***           D#***
You open your hearts up so quickly, it scares me

G#m
She's an artist, paints across my chest

E
Goes to parties, act like hotel guests

C#m
Wake up Monday, now it's over

G#m          D#
Don't you know no-one gets what they came here for?

G#m
I could paint her, wrapped around her

E
We could make such a pretty picture

C#m
Oh, so happy, oh, oh, so happy

G#m          D#
I'm pretty cool once you get to know me

E
But I'm just the same

C#m          G#m
I've got a boring name

B
Across the board from what you want and what you came here for

E
So, I'll wait here for you

C#m               G#m
I said, please just let me stay

B
Oh, just let me stay

G#m
I guess you know now what to expect

E
He lives your own life in retrospect

C#m
You know it bores me? These insecurities

G#m         D#
Breaks you down just to act as the architect

G#m
I could wait here, by the west pier

E
Watched the flotsam float, slowly disappear

C#m
Oh, so happy, oh, oh, so happy

G#m         D#
If only you knew just how much better things could be

G#m E
   Another week of action

G#m D#*** D#***
     Another hypoglycaemic reaction

E
But I'm just the same

C#m          G#m
I've got a boring name

B
Across the board from what you want and what you came here for

E
So, I'll wait here for you

C#m               G#m
I said, please just let me stay

B
Oh, just let me stay

B
I'm sorry it's all so predictable

B
I'm sorry it's all so predictable
