[G]
[E] [D]
[C] [G]
[Dm] [E] [D]
I spent some time feeling [C]
inferior, [G] [D]
standing in front of my mirror.
I cold my head in a thousand [C]
[G] ways, [D] but I came out looking just the same.
Daddy said, son you better see [C] the world.
[G]
I wouldn't [D] play it if you wanted me.
But remember one thing, don't [C] lose your head.
[G]
[Bm] [D]
So I got out, and found
[G]
[D] [G]
[D]
a place where I could hide [C] away.
[G] [A] [D] If it wasn't getting fit in, the police wouldn't give me [C] no [G] peace.
[D] They claimed I was a [Dm] [D] nasty pervert, damn it all you left.
[C] [G]
I was knocked down [D] by a human stampede.
Got a record for inciting the people.
[C] [G]
[Bm] When all I wanted was [D] a cop or a pimp, I was [Bm] accused.
[D]
I [G]
[D]
moved on, down in Rome.
I [G] wasn't getting enough, [D] all the things that keep a young man alive.
My body stunk, but I kept [G] my funk.
[Bm] At the time I [D]
had a lot, getting deaf, but indeed I was.
[G]
You're looking like a [D] tourist attraction.
Oh my dear, I better get out of [C] here.
[G]
Find a Vatican, [D] don't give no attention.
I wasn't [G] ready for that, you don't know.
[D]
I moved right out east.
On the Peking Ferry I was feeling [C] merry.
[G] [D] Sailing on my way back here.
I fell in love with a slender [G] lady.
By the [D] light of an eastern moon.
She sang out loud, never used a [C] thing.
[G]
She claimed [D] that it was a natural.
She took me up on that, met [C] my [G]
old people.
I was [D] playing around.
[G] I was playing around.
[D]
[G]
[D] Wait a minute.
[B] [C] My family [D] believed that [G] I didn't [D] need anyone but me.
I sincerely thought I was so [G] complete.
Look how [D] wrong you can be.
The women I've known, I wasn't that [G] time of shoot.
They wouldn't give [Bm] you that [D] time of day.
But the slender lady knocked me off my [G] feet.
[D] And if there was words I could tell [G] to you.
[Bm] To help you on the [D] way down the road.
I couldn't quote you no Dickens, shout [G] you no Keats.
[D] I've been sad before.
Make the best out of the bad, [F] come laugh at [G] it.
You didn't [D] have to come here anyway.
So I remember every picture tells a story, don't it?
Every picture tells a story, don't it?
Every picture tells a story, don't it?
Every picture tells a story, don't it?
