New Tattoo

You got a new tattoo
                                   Bm
And you bought a nice pair of shoes
                                E
To remind you who you used to be
When life was something brand new
A                                             C#m
'Cause now you sleep a little lighter at night
And you wake up when the sky gets light
    Bm                      E
And crawl into the kitchen at dawn
                               D
And tell yourself it's alright

                                      C#m
You swore you didn't want strings attached
                                  Bm
And to be tethered to the telephone
                                     E
But now there's no one here to talk to
                      D
And you prefer to sleep alone
                                    C#m
All the chances that you couldn't take
                                            Bm
Mistakes that you couldn’t afford to make
                                 E          A
Well what would it have cost you

C#m
When you had a new tattoo
                    Bm
And you were only 22
                            E
You had a hole in your shirt
                                           A
But there was nothing that you couldn't do
                               C#m
Now you're standing in the vestibule
                                      Bm
Wondering how they got the best of you
                               E
Now that you do your own laundry
                                           D
Now that there's always something pressing you

                                        C#m
You swore you didn't want strings attached
     E                 C#m       Bm
And to be tethered to the telephone
                             E
But now there's no one here to talk to
                               D
And you prefer to sleep alone
                             E          C#m
All them chances that you couldn't take
                                      Bm
Mistakes that you couldn't afford to make
                                     E  E
Oh and what would it have cost you?

A    C#m   Bm   E
A    C#m   E  Bm   E   D

    D                             C#m
Well your dad is gonna cover away
                               Bm
And mom is gonna say it's okay
                                    E
When you call them every Monday at 9
                                  D
And tell them that it's going fine
                                       C#m
All your friends, they just exhaust you
                                             Bm
You could've left, but where would you go off to?
                                  E    E
Oh, and what would it have cost you?

A                 C#m
So you got a new tattoo
                           Bm
To make you feel something new
                            E
The sign of a cross on your thigh
                                 A
And you don't even really know why
                                     C#m
But you're hoping that it marks the end
                                    Bm
Of a time that you could just forget
                  E
So you call it a draw for the night
                              A
And you tell yourself it's alright
