Guy Clark - Maybe I Can Paint Over That
[C]I've smeared my [F]heart on my [G]sleeve
[C]I've tagged my [F]name on the [G]wall
[C]It's prob'ly [F]time for me to [G]leave
[C]Actin' big and [F]talkin' [G]small
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
