Matt Pless - Call It Art Chords

[Intro]
D  G  A  D
 
 
[Verse 1]
      D                         G
Well, here we go again, another day
  A                               D
I take out my guitar and start to play
  D                             G
I tell myself I'm gonna write a song
    A                                 D
But everything I've written comes out wrong
 
    D                              G
The words they used to come so easily
A                               D
Back when everything was new to me
    D                               G
But lately I can't seem to find the time
    A                            D
And when I do, I barely find the rhyme
 
 
[Chorus]
  G                              D
I threw a bunch of lyrics on the floor
  A                       Bm
I posted poetry up on the wall
  G                   A                F#m               Bm
I published pointless gibberish that I said came from my heart
  G           A                   D
I put it in a frame and called it art
 
 
{Interlude]
D  G  A  D
 
 
[Verse 2]
   D                         G
An empty canvas withers all alone
  A                                   D
A brush with greatness that may never come
   D                              G
It must be something broken in my brain
    A                                D
For fifteen minutes sinking down the drain
 
     D                          G
I'll say creative passion is my life
    A                           D
But I'll succumb to any kind of vice
  D                                     G
I may have finally numbed more than the pain
    A                             D
And made more than the voices go away
 
 
[Chorus]
  G                                D
I splattered pastel colors on some glass
  A                               Bm
I made pretentious garbage out of trash
  G               A             F#m           Bm
I drew a big post-modern purple circle in the dark
  G                   A                D
I charged a price and then I called it art
 
 
{Interlude]
D  G  A  D
 
 
[Verse 3]
        D                           G
There's too many distractions in my mind
     A                          D
It's making inspiration hard to find
     D                                  G
I'll try and place the blame on someone else
    A                           D
But I put all the pressure on myself
 
     D                                 G
They tell me I'm an artist, here's the truth
  A                            D
I use the title more like an excuse
    D                            G
But then again, I guess I did create
  A                                 D
A fake who throws away more than he makes
 
 
[Chorus]
  G                              D
I might die broken, lonely and unknown
       A                             Bm
You'll finally recognize me when I'm gone
     G               A                 F#m            Bm
When everything I've worked for fades away and falls apart
     G              A                 D
I'll paint my masterpiece and call it art
 
 
[Outro]
     G              A                 D
I'll paint my masterpiece and call it art
D  G  A  D
