Slow Graffiti

  C#
There's a portrait
     G#
In a back room
           F#
Which I'll keep for days upon
          C#
Which I relent
              B
And gaze for hours on
    A#m                  F#
The muscle, skin and bone
         G#
Of some imaginary friend

( F# G# F# )

        C#
So how about it
        G#
Show me please
           F#
How I will look in twenty years
           C#
And let me please
          B
Interpret history
       A#m        F#
In every line and scar
               G#
That's painted there in front of me

( F# G# F# G# F# G# )

           C#
It doesn't matter
         G#
What I'm thinking
       F#
What I tell myself to do
         C#      F#
I end up calling

       C#
I stay in to
                   G#
Defrost the fridge
        F#
Now the kid has gone to bed
             C#
A feeling of dread
              B
At least when she's around
    A#m
The trouble's there
     F#                        G#
It's worse to wake up with her falling 'round the room

( F# G# F# G# F# G# )

       C#
Listen Johnny
              F#
You're like a mother
       C#                     F#
To the girl you've fallen for
                 C#
And you're still falling

       C#
Listen Johnny
              G#
You're like a mother
       F#
To the girl you've fallen for
                 C#
And you're still falling

            B
And if they come tonight
       A#m
You'll roll up tight
     F#             G#
And take whatever's coming to you next (oh, oh oh oh)
