New Tattoo

[Verse 1]
                    C#m
You got a new tattoo
And you bought a nice pair of shoes
Bm

                                E
To remind you who you used to be

When life was something brand new
A                           
'Cause now you sleep a little 
                  C#m
lighter at night

And you wake up when the sky gets 
light
    Bm                      E
And crawl into the kitchen at dawn
                               D
And tell yourself it's alright

[Chorus]
You swore you didn't want strings 
    C#m
attached
                                  Bm
And to be tethered to the telephone
But now there's no one here to talk 
 E
to
                      D
And you prefer to sleep alone
All the chances that you couldn't 
  C#m
take
Mistakes that you couldn’t afford 
        Bm
to make
                                 E 
Well what would it have cost you
         A

[Verse 2]
C#m
When you had a new tattoo
                    Bm
And you were only 22
                            E
You had a hole in your shirt
But there was nothing that you 
            A
couldn't do
                               C#m
Now you're standing in the vestibule
Wondering how they got the best of 
   Bm
you
                               E
Now that you do your own laundry
Now that there's always something 
         D
pressing you

[Chorus]
You swore you didn't want strings 
      C#m
attached
     E                 C#m       Bm
And to be tethered to the telephone
                             E
But now there's no one here to talk 
to
                               D
And you prefer to sleep alone
                             E     
All them chances that you couldn't 
     C#m
take
Mistakes that you couldn't afford to
  Bm
 make
Oh and what would it have cost you?

[Bridge]
    D                             
Well your dad is gonna cover away
C#m

                               Bm
And mom is gonna say it's okay
When you call them every Monday at 9
E

                                  D
And tell them that it's going fine
All your friends, they just exhaust 
   C#m
you
You could've left, but where would 
          Bm
you go off to?
                                  E
Oh, and what would it have cost 
    E
you?

[Verse 3]
A                 C#m
So you got a new tattoo
                           Bm
To make you feel something new
                            E
The sign of a cross on your thigh
                                 A
And you don't even really know why
But you're hoping that it marks the 
 C#m
end
Of a time that you could just forget
Bm

                  E
So you call it a draw for the night
                              A
And you tell yourself it's alright
