The Work of Art
Album: The Boxmasters


INTRO: D  G  Bm  G  A  G  D

  D
A heavy feelin' creeps thru my bones
     G                                D
As I get out of the car and close the door
  G                               Bm    G
I think back to your voice on the phone
   A               G                D
My blood starts to cause my ears to roar


The back door screen is slightly ajar
When I walk in to the kitchen for a beer
I look up in the doorway, there you are
And your face tells me there's been someone else here


CHORUS:
            G                  D
The way you smell, the way you sway
             A                D
The way your eyes just drift away
            G                 D
The way the pain strangles my heart
  A                                  D
I have no doubt this was the work of Art


How can you disrespect me so
You barely even hide your secret sin
It seems you wouldn't want me to know
Or maybe you just think that I'm that dim

I see the pack of Lucky's he forgot
When he's around, you have a different smile
You may think I'm love-blind, but I'm not
Don't think that I don't know my best friend's style


CHORUS:
The way he plays the game he plays
The way he takes your breath away
The way he painted us apart
I have no doubt this was the work of Art


SOLO: G  D  A  D  G  D  A  D


CHORUS:
The way you smell, the way you sway
The way your eyes just drift away
The way the pain strangles my heart
I know that this had to be old Art

          A                          D
You can't hide this precious work of Art


OUTRO: G  Bm  G  A  G  D
