Portrait Of A Blank Slate Uke tab by Lovejoy (Baritone Chords)

G#m E C#m   G#m D#

[Verse 1]
G#m
He told me that much and now he's 
dead
E
Taught me to kill my indulgences
C#m
With a sharp blow to the temple
G#m               D#
Pick up the phone call and do 
everything he says
G#m
I could take a plastic camera
E
We could make such a pretty picture
C#m
Oh, so happy, oh, oh, so happy
G#m             D#
I'm pretty cool once you get to know
me

[Refrain]
G#m
I feel at some point, I broke my 
mind
E
I'm always searching the silent type
C#m
How do you all make it look so easy?
G#m              D#
You open your hearts up so quickly, 
it scares me

[Verse 2]
G#m
She's an artist, paints across my 
chest
E
Goes to parties, act like hotel 
guests
C#m
Wake up Monday, now it's over
G#m          D#
Don't you know no-one gets what they
came here for?
G#m
I could paint her, wrapped around 
her
E
We could make such a pretty picture
C#m
Oh, so happy, oh, oh, so happy
G#m          D#
I'm pretty cool once you get to know
me

[Chorus]
E
But I'm just the same
C#m          G#m
I've got a boring name
G#m7
Across the board from what you want 
and what you came here for
E
So, I'll wait here for you
C#m               G#m
I said, please just let me stay
G#m7
Oh, just let me stay
E

[Verse 3]
G#m
I guess you know now what to expect
E
He lives your own life in retrospect
C#m
You know it bores me? These 
insecurities
G#m         D#
Breaks you down just to act as the 
architect
G#m
I could wait here, by the west pier
E
Watched the flotsam float, slowly 
disappear
C#m
Oh, so happy, oh, oh, so happy
G#m         D#
If only you knew just how much 
better things could be

[Instrumental]
G#m E G#m
D#    D#

G#m E
   Another week of action
G#m D#    D#
     Another hypoglycaemic reaction

G#m E C#m      G#m D#

[Chorus]
E
But I'm just the same
C#m          G#m
I've got a boring name
G#m7
Across the board from what you want 
and what you came here for
E
So, I'll wait here for you
C#m               G#m
I said, please just let me stay
G#m7
Oh, just let me stay
Oh just let me!

[Outro]
E C#m G#m
G#m7
I'm sorry it's all so predictable
E C#m G#m
G#m7
I'm sorry it's all so predictable
E
