Vic Chesnutt - Soft Picasso

      
 
 VERSE ONE 
 
 
          A                 A9 A 
 It was a modern love affair
    B                A     
 Completely cool and casual
                                      A9 A 
 They hardly knew each other was there
        B                                  A        
 I mean both of them had their own getting off to do
                 B                         
 And they had to dream about their own self
 A                     
 When they were through
 
 VERSE TWO 
 
 
         D                E    
 But the modern girl was elated
               D          E       
 With what the revolution gave her
     D                  E              D   
 And since she was liberated she could have
                 E                
 Everything that striked her fancy
 
 VERSE THREE 
 
 
         A                  A9 A 
 And she fancied quite a bit
           B                A     
 I mean if it felt good she did it
                                          A9 A 
 And she did it every chance she could get
          B                 A B        
 With her main modern man and otherwise
         A     B                      A          
 And her taste wasn't limited to just modern guys
 
 VERSE FOUR 
 
 
 
        D                  E         
 Since another modern girl showed her
      D                        E       
 That modern girls know how to hold her
     D                      E     
 And after she had her eyes opened
         D                         E             
 All her old close friends started getting closer
     B                        F#m E      A Asus4 A 
 And new friends weren't that far  far away
 
 VERSE FIVE 
 
 
         A                            E    
 But the modern man he just wasn't so lucky
       F#m               E             B            E 
 He being shook from his usual role as a heartbreaker
        A                         E       
 He was completely battered and bewildered
                  F#m      E          F#m           E  
 When he actually  started in feeling something for her
        F#m                       D      
 And he then, he discovered a new emotion
           A                             E         
 When they stopped ending up together as frequently
 F#m                    A                            
 And when he finally confronted her with the question
              F#m                             E             F#m     
 Had she been bedding down with others in the periphery without him?
                       D                  
 And she replied, Hell yes ain't it funny?
 
 VERSE SIX 
 
 
    A                  A9 A B                                 A                 
 So view the modern man  looking, looking, looking, like a soft, soft Picasso
                                     A9 A 
 He's there with his head in his hand
   B                     A      
 Repeating to himself an epigram
 B                                 A 
 Live by the scam, die by the scam
