Van Gogh Chords

Capo: 4th fret
Key: E
[Verse 1]
Am           F                 C    Em
I guess it's time the canvas hung
Am     F                     C    Em
And I accept the crimes I've done
Am           F               C    Em
For one more step into the sand
Am           F
Will sink me further
          C    Em
And I cannot
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
  Am
Am I the man I think I am?
    Am
The crown can't bear the weight of my head
  Am
If I had spoken sooner
        Am
Would my words be worth their truth?
 
 
[Chorus]
C               Em
If chaos was a lifestyle
              D
I'd be on the cover of every Forbes magazine
C               Em
If dying was an artform
                D
Could I be your Van Gogh?
      D
Pretty please
 
 
[Refrain]
C Em D

[Verse 2]
Am    F                 C    Em
I grew up with brittle walls
Am         F             C   Em    E
Now they're painted in my blood
Am     F                 C    Em
When I thought I'd found myself
Am        F                 C    Em
Turns out I'd outgrown your love
Am         F              C   Em    E
Now you're banging down my door
Am           F
If I'm worth nothing
             C            Em
What are you even banging for?
Am         F                 C    Em
And I can't say I'm finally done
Am       F               C    Em
'Til the bullet's in my gut
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
  Am
Am I the man I think I am?
   Am
The crown can't bear the weight of my head
  Am
If I had spoken sooner
          Am
Would the truth be worth my words?
 
 
[Chorus]
C               Em
If chaos was a lifestyle
              D
I'd be on the cover of every Forbes magazine
C               Em
If dying was an artform
                 D
Could I be your Van Gogh?
      D
Pretty please
 
 
[Refrain]

[Bridge]
  C             Em
A young artist, born a fool
  D
He fell in love with his tools
 C              Em
Abandoned home, ran away
  D
But he could never leave his cage
    C                Em
An old man who once painted art
  D
But now he thinks about lost love
    C              Em
He buried his work under his grave
  D
But he could never leave his cage
 
 
[Chorus]
C               Em
If chaos was a lifestyle
              D
I'd be on the cover of every Forbes magazine
C               Em
If dying was an artform
                 D
Could I be your Van Gogh?
      D
Pretty please

[Outro]
                 C      Em
Could I be your Van Gogh?
               D
Could I be your Van Gogh, pretty please?
                 C      Em
Could I be your Van Gogh?
                D
Could I be your Van Gogh, pretty please?
