Verse:
D
I used to count the days
G D
Of quittin’ cigarettes and beer
D
You’d stand above those days
G D
Like a sentinel so dear.
D
Now I use the calendar
G D
Just to mark important dates
D
Like when my dogs get their meds
G D
Yeah, some real important dates.
Chorus:
A Bm
Well your stand-ins in my world
G D
Don’t serve you well at all
A Bm
And I bet I’m better off
G D
When you’re a picture on my wall.
Verse:
Cindy did some runway
And she had an attitude
She used to serve me coffee
And to me she was quite rude.
I’d had enough of her
And with her I didn’t start
She had a thousand dollar body
Wrapped around a ten-cent heart.
Chorus:
Well your stand-ins in my world
Don’t serve you well at all
And I bet I’m better off
When you’re a picture on my wall.
Bridge:
F#m Em
Oh my world would be a heartache
G F#m
If I let them make the call
F#m Em
I look at you, could you be better
Em C
Oh you up there on my wall…
Verse;
Hannah was a piece of work
As mean as mean could be
I made it on her shit-list
And she had her sights on me.
She wanted us to go there
I said we’re not going there
Check yourself don’t wreck yourself
And I walked without a care
Chorus:
Well your stand-ins in my world
Don’t serve you well at all
And I bet I’m better off
When you’re a picture on my wall.
