The pictures tell the story, [C] this life had many shades
[G] I'd wake up every morning and [Am] before I'd start each day
I'd take a drag from last night's cigarette [C] that's smoldered in its tray
[G] Down a little something [Dm] and then be on my [Am] way
I traveled far and wide and [C] lay this head in many ports
I [G] was guided by a compass, [Am] I saw beauty to the north
I drew the tales of many lives and [C] wore the faces of my own
I [G] had these memories all around me [Dm] so I wouldn't be alone
[C] Some may be from showing [G] up, others are from growing up
[Dm] Sometimes I was so messed [Am] up and didn't have a clue
I [C] ain't winning no one over, [G] I wear it just for you
I got [Dm] your name written here in a rose tattoo
[Am] In a rose tattoo, [C] in a rose tattoo
I got [Dm] your name written here in a [G] rose [Am] tattoo
This
[C]
[G]
[Am]
one's for the mighty [C] sea, mist, gold and piracy
[G] This one's for the man that [Am] raised me, taught me sacrifice and bravery
This one's for our favorite [C] gay, black and gold we wave the [G] flag
This one's for my family [Dm] name, let's ride or wear it to the [C] grave
Some may be from showing [G] up, others are from growing up
[Dm] Sometimes I was so messed [Am] up and didn't have a clue
I [C] ain't winning no one [G] over, I wear it just for you
I got [Dm] your name written here in a rose tattoo
[Am] In a rose tattoo, [C] in a rose tattoo
I got [Dm] your name written here in a rose [Am] tattoo
[C] In a rose tattoo, [G] in a rose tattoo
I [Dm] got your name written here in a [G] rose [Am] tattoo
This
[F] one means the most to [C] me, it stays there for eternity
[G] A ship that always stays, I [Am] call the maker for my every [F] choice
A rose that shines down from above, [C] I sign and seal these words in [G] blood
I heard them once sung in a song, it played again and we sang
[Am] along
[C]
[G]
[Am]
You'll always be here with [C] me, even if you're gone
[G] You'll always have my love, [Dm] our memory will live on
[C] Some may be from showing [G] up, others are from growing [Dm] up
Sometimes I was so messed [Am] up and didn't have a clue
I [C] ain't winning no one [G] over, I wear it just for you

die for [G] [Am] you.
