[Verse 1]
A
I hadn't known you long enough
Bm
But just like that, I fell in love
E A E
And lookin' back, I wish somehow I'd thought it through
A
But with forever on my mind
Bm
I left my sanity behind
E A
And on my shoulder, got a small tattoo of you
[Pre-Chorus]
Bm F#m
With your hair in the wind and your eyes lookin' somewhere far away
Bm E
It was just what you wanted the artist to portray
[Chorus]
A
You'd finally got your claws in me
Bm D
One time, I overheard you braggin'
A Bm
It was a pretty tattoo, but just like you
D E F#m E
It turned into a dragon
[Verse 2]
A
So I decided we were through
Bm
And when I broke the news to you
E A E
You took it even harder than I thought you would
A
Then right before my very eyes
Bm
I watched you metamorphosize
E A
Until the one I thought I'd loved was gone for good
[Pre-Chorus]
Bm F#m
All the screams and the threats and the calls in the middle of the night
Bm E
Only proved my decision to break up with you was right
[Chorus]
A
Soon, you were breathin' smoke and flame
Bm D
And your scaly tail was waggin'
A Bm
And with a skillful hand, the tattoo man
D E F#m E
Turned you into a dragon
[Instrumental]
A | A | Bm | Bm |
E | E | A | E |
[Chorus]
A
And when my hair has turned to grey
Bm D
And my skin is old and saggin'
A Bm
I'll have a faded tattoo that looked like you
D E F#m E
But turned into a dragon
[Outro]
