His Old Tattoo

G C 

C 
His old tattoo is faded 
                F 
Just like his memories 
G 
And though hes marked for life 
                  C 
Still waters run deep 

Why he ended up so jaded? 
                              F 
He looks like an open book to me 
G 
A picture paints a thousand words 
                                  C 
But were not getting the whole story 

F 
When words cant express 
      G 
And stories even less 
            C      G         Am 
You better read between the lines 
C 
It takes one to know one 
     G                        C 
And not all wounds heal over time 

C 
He was mumbling words 
               F 
I couldnt understand 
           G 
But his future is defined 
                             C 
By whatever happened to the man 

Now his old tattoo is faded 
               F 
Just like his memories 
         G 
But he clearly remembers 
                          C 
That one day, back in 63
