Verse 1: w/intro riff (Chords for 2nd guitar) 
 
Images on the sidewalk speak of dream's decent 
1      2       1         2         5           2      
Washed away by storms to graves of cynical lament 
1      2     1    2      5         2   
       Dirty canvases to call my own 
1      2       1         2      7                    8  9  
       Protest limericks carved by the old pay phone 
 
Chorus: 
1    2       3       4        1      2       3    4  
     In your picture book I'm trying hard to see 
1    2       3       4     1       2       3 
     Turning endless pages of this tragedy 
1    2         3     4           1      2     3   4 
     Sculpting every move you compose a symphony 
1        2        3    4     5                   6   9   2 
     You plead to everyone, "see the art in me" 
(2)                      6  9  2                          
     "see the art in me"         "see the art in me" 
 
Verse 2: 
 
Broken stained-glass windows, the fragments ramble on 
Tales of broken souls, an eternity's been won 
As critics scorn the thoughts and works of mortal man 
My eyes are drawn to you in awe once again 
 
In your picture book I'm trying hard to see 
Turning endless pages of this tragedy 
Sculpting every move you compose a symphony 
You plead to everyone, "see the art in me" 
 
Refrain:   1   9   2   (8x)
