ACHIN' TO BE
[from "Don't Tell a Soul"]
intro: (A G Bm G D) C#/A G D
A
Well she's kind of like an artist
G D
Sittin' on the floor
A
Never finish it she abandons
G D
Never shows a soul
A
And she's kind of like a movie
G D
Everyone rushes to see
A
And no one understands it
G D
Sittin' in their seats
Bm G
She opens her mouth to speak and
F#m7 Bm
What comes out's a mystery
G D
Thought about, an' I've understood
G D
She's achin' to be
A
Well she dances alone in nightclubs
G D
Every other day of the week
A
People look right through her
G D
Baby doll check your cheek
A
And she's kind of like a poet
G D
Who finds it hard to speak
A
Poems come so slowly
G D
Like the colors down a sheet (chorus)
A G
I've been achin' for a while now, friend
A G D
I've been achin' hard for years
(break)
D A
Well she's kind of like an artist
G D
Who uses paints no more
A
And never show what you're doing
G D
Never show her soul
A
Yeah I saw one of your pictures
G D
There was nothin' that I could see
A
If no one's on your canvas
G D
Well, I'm achin' to be
Bm G
She closes her mouth to speak and
F#m7 Bm
Closes her eyes to see
G D
Thought about an' only love and
G D A
She's achin' to be
G D
Just like me
