    Am                            C                     
The pictures tell the story, this life has many shades
    G                           Am
I'd wake up every morning and before I'd start each day

Down a little something and then be on my way

I travelled far and wide and laid this head in many ports
      G                          Am
I was guided by a compass, I saw beauty to the north

I ain't winning no one over I wear it just for you

I've got your name written here in a rose tattoo

A ship that always stays the course, an anchor for my every choice
  F                                   C
A rose that shines down from above, I signed and sealed these words in blood
  G                                   G
I heard them once, sung in a song, it played again and we sang along
