🎶 Portrait Of A Blank Slate

Capo 4


[Em]He told me that much and now he’s [C]dead
Taught me to kill my indulgen[Am]ces With a sharp blow to the temple
[Em]Pick up the phone call and [B7]do everything he says
[Em]I could take a plastic camera [C]We could make such a pretty picture
[Am]Oh so happy. Oh, oh so happy [Em]I’m pretty cool once you [B7]get to know me
[Em]I feel at some point I broke my [C]mind
I’m always searching the silent [Am]type How do you all make it look so easy?
[Em]You open your hearts up so [B7]quickly it scares me

[Em]She’s an artist, paints across my chest [C]Goes to parties, act like hotel guests
[Am]Wake up Monday, now it’s over [Em]Don’t you know no-one [B7]gets what they came here for?
[Em]I could paint her, wrapped around her [C]We could make such a pretty picture
[Am]Oh so happy. Oh, oh so happy [Em]I’m pretty cool once you [B7]get to know me

[C]But I’m just the [Am]same I’ve got a boring [Em]name
Ac[G]ross the world from what you want and what you [C]came here for
So I’ll wait here [Am]for you Said, please just let me [Em]stay Oh, just let me [G]stay

[Em]I guess you know now what to ex[C]pect He lives your own life in retro[Am]spect
You know it bores me? These insecurities. [Em]reaks you down just to [B7]act as the architect
[Em]I could wait here, by the west pier [C]Watched the flotsam float, slowly disappear
[Am]Oh so happy, oh oh, so happy If [Em]only you knew just how much[B7] better things could be

[Em]...Another week of [C]action Another [Em]hypoglycaemic reaction

[C]But I’m just the [Am]same I’ve got a boring [Em]name
Ac[G]ross the world from what you want and what you [C]came here for
So I’ll wait here [Am]for you Said, please just let me [Em]stay Oh, just let me [G]stay
I’m [G]sorry it’s all so predictable [C] [Am] [Em]
I’m [G]sorry it’s all so predictable [C] [Am] [Em]
