#intro:G G G D F#m G

DF#m
Well she's kind of like an artist
GD
Sittin' on the floor
GD
Never finishes, she abandons
GD
Never shows a soul
DF#m
And she's kind of like a movie
GD
Everyone rushes to see
GD
And no one understands it
GD
Sittin' in their seats
F#mG
She opens her mouth to speak and
F#mBm
What comes out's a mystery
GF#m
Thought about, an' I've understood
GDFGm
She's achin' to be
DF#m
Well she dances alone in nightclubs
GD
Every other day of the week
GD
People look right through her
GD
Baby doll check your cheek
DF#m
And she's kind of like a poet
GD
Who finds it hard to speak
GD
Poems come so slowly
GD
Like the colors down a sheet (chorus)
AG
I've been achin' for a while now, friend
AGDFGD
I've been achin' hard for years
(break use verse chords 1X)
DF#m
Well she's kind of like an artist
GD
Who uses paints no more
GD
And never show what you're doing
GD
Never show a soul
F#mG
Yeah I saw one of your pictures
F#mBm
There was nothin' that I could see
GF#m
If no one's on your canvas
GD
Well, I'm achin' to be
F#mG
She closes her mouth to speak and
F#mBm
Closes her eyes to see
GF#m
Thought about an' only love and
GDFGm
She's achin' to be
GDFGm
Just like me
