                     Am

Am                   G                Am
   Feelin' ticklish,   just met a new girl
               G               Am
She's got a tattoo, said she remembers you
    G                       Am     G
Oh, one day waitin' out the rain

    Em
She embroidered the portrait of a tortured artist
        Am       G
On your sleeve

Am 
Laugh at your own jokes
G                Am   
   Wouldn't dare laugh at yourself
          G
What a surprise
             Am
Happy, happy birthday to you
G                           Am                G
   Oh, you're mama's little dream come true

    Em
She painted the colors of the sunset
                       Am       G
With her fingers on my teepee

      C                               G
Likes cold, cold wine, cradled in the evening sky
       C                                    G
Drinks in the deep dark reds of romance and poetry
C                              G
Laughs out loud as movie stars shed their tears
       Em                Dm C    B    Am
In her sleep, she dreams    with melancholoy

Jam over Am > G

Am               G                  Am
   And I know, I know I'm just like you
                   G                Am
I was leaving in a way, I'm already gone
                     G               Am      G
Still young, though,   oozing to the radio
         Em
Oh, like poetry, a tired cowboy
                 Am
Who just let his horse run free

G
I know, ooh, I'm just like you
Not goin' anywhere
          Am
Feel near gone
                      G
There's a van passing fast
          Am       G
Moving in stereo

Am                G
   Barely see her face
         Am
Or maybe outline
         G              C      G
I'm not,   I can barely see
C > G
C > G
Em                  Dm         C      Bb  Am
Even as she sleeps,    oh, she laughs out loud
Laughing loud
