[Verse] Dm F C Dm - Dm F C Gm [Intro] (x2) Dm F C Dm
The pictures tell the story, this life has many shades
I'd wake up every morning and before I'd start each day
I'd take a drag from last night's cigarette
that smoldered in its tray [Fill]
Down a little something and then be on my way Dm Dm
I traveled far and wide and laid this head in many ports
I was guided by a compass, I saw beauty to the north
I drew the tales of many lives and wore the faces of my own
I had these memories all around me so I wouldn't be alone
[Chorus] F C Gm Dm - F C Gm (Gm) - (Dm F Gm Gm>C-Dm)
Some may be from showing up, others are from growing up
Sometimes I was so messed up and didn't have a clue
((I ain't winning no one over, I wear it just for you/
In a rose tattoo (x2)) - (I've got your name
written here in a rose tattoo) x2) [Intro]
This one's for (the mighty sea, mischief, gold and piracy/
the man that raised me, taught me sacrifice and bravery/
our favorite game, black and gold, we wave the flag/
my family name, with pride, I wear it to the grave) (x4)
[Chorus] (…) (…/F C Gm Gm-X - Dm) (x1~2) [Bridge] Bb F C Dm

This one means the most to me, it stays here for eternity
A ship that always stays the course, ╔═════════════╗
an anchor for my every choice ║ Rose Tattoo ║
A rose that shines down from above, ║ Dropkick ║
I signed and sealed these words in blood Murphys ║
I heard them once, sung in a song, ╚═════════════╝
it played again and we sang along [Intro]
[Verse]
You'll always be there with me, even if you're gone Dm F
You'll always have my love, our memory will live on C Gm
