Guy Clark - Maybe I Can Paint Over That
CI've smeared my Fheart on my Gsleeve
CI've tagged my Fname on the Gwall
CIt's prob'ly Ftime for me to Gleavess
              C         F  G||
Actin' big and talkin' small-i
I've tracked blood in on the floor
I put my first through the wall
I've dragged trouble through the door
And I've spilled wine on it all
(chorus)
Maybe I can paint over that
It'll prob'ly bleed through
Maybe I can paint over that
But I can't hide it from you
I've got some ink beneath my skin
A good idea at the time
I won't be doing that again
Not with any arm of mine
And I have stumbled in my time
I left my footprints down the road
And the part of me that shines
Ain't the part of me that's showed

I've smeared my heart on my sleeve

C F G

I've tagged my name on the wall

It's prob'ly time for me to leavess

C F G

Actin' big and talkin' small-i

I've tracked blood in on the floor

I put my first through the wall

I've dragged trouble through the door

And I've spilled wine on it all

(chorus)

Maybe I can paint over that

It'll prob'ly bleed through

Maybe I can paint over that

But I can't hide it from you

I've got some ink beneath my skin

A good idea at the time

I won't be doing that again

Not with any arm of mine

And I have stumbled in my time

I left my footprints down the road

And the part of me that shines

Ain't the part of me that's showed
