Jonathan Coulton - Your Tattoo Chords

[Verse]

C
Black and blue
              F
Every time I lean into you
                       C
Think the words don't mean what they do
                  G
Killing me so slow
         C
So it's home instead
              F
Memorize the scars in your bed
               C
Making me see stars in my head
                    G
Baby, you don't know

[Chorus]

F
One tough summer and too much sun
Am
The lines get blurry and the colors run
         C                       G
And the red bleeds out with the blue
F
Picture of the shape of the way it hurt
Am
Planning an escape from beneath your shirt
       C                  G
Do you know I love your tattoo?
       F           Am
Your tattoo...
       C           G
Your tattoo...

[Verse]

C
You were there
                   F
Little sparks and wire in the air
               C
Everything on fire everywhere
                    G
Punishment and crime
C
Black and white
                    F
It's keeping me up late every night
                  C
Thinking I can't wait, but I might
                  G
Everything in time

[Chorus]

F
Gray gives way to the deepest black
Am
Promises you made and can't take back
          C                       G
When you look too long, you see through
F
Over on the edge where the ink is thin
Am
Coming up close against your skin
       C                 G
Do you know I love your tattoo?
      F         Am
Your tattoo...
      C        G
Your tattoo...
 (End on C)
