           D                          F#m     G                D
Well she's kind of like an artist… Sittin' on the floor
G                       D                      G                     D
Never finishes,  she abandons... Never shows a soul

And she's kind of like a movie...Everyone rushes to see
       G                  D               G                   D
And no one understands it... Sittin' in their seats

[Chorus]
       F#m                         G                          F#m               Bm                       
She opens her mouth to speak and... What comes out's a mystery
 G                                  F#m                       G               D     F#m     G

Well she dances alone in nightclubs... Every other day of the week
G                         D                    G                               D
People look right through her... Baby doll check your cheek
                D                   F#m     G                           D                  
And she's kind of like a poet... Who finds it hard to speak
G                       D                        G                    D
Poems come so slowly... Like the colors down a sheet  

[Chorus]
       F#m                         G                          F#m               Bm                       
She opens her mouth to speak and... What comes out's a mystery
 G                                  F#m                       G               D     F#m     G      
Thought about, an' I've understood... She's achin'   to be
 
[Bridge]
A                               G
I've been achin' for a while now, friend
A                                    G             D / / / F / / /  G / / / D / / /

Well she's kind of like an artist... Who uses paints no more
        G                                  D           G                   D 
And never show what you're doing... Never show a soul
           F#m                  G                               F#m                       Bm
Yeah I saw one of your pictures... There was nothin' that I could see

If no one's on your canvas... Well, I'm achin' to be

She closes her mouth to speak and... Closes her eyes to see
 G                          F#m                                                
Thought about an' only love and
         G            D             F#m             G                     
She's achin' to be
