Tracy Lawrence, - "Somebody Paints the Wall" -  "Sticks and Stones"


Intro:  D  G  D  A  D  G  D  A


            D                   D/F#             D 
If my old truck was a horse I'd have to shoot it

          G                           G/D          D/F#    D
Lord the day my ship came in, I was waitin' for a train

                          D/F#         D
Every time I get a grip I always lose it

 A                                 A7
I can't find the sunshine for the rain

         G                          D      
And you know I'm always saying I'm sorry

         F#m                 G             D                          A
But you stand by me through it all, seems every time I make my mark
 
               D          
Somebody paints the wall



Chorus:

 
F#m       G     A                                                    D         
       Every  time I think I'm off and runnin', I'm barely up to a crawl

F#m      G     A                                             D                 
       Every time I get a leg up on the ladder of success I slip and fall

Em     F#m      G
       Like last week down at the factory I was up for a promotion

           D           F#m              G
But the boss's little brother got the call

        D                      A                     D
Seems every time I make my mark somebody paints the wall

F#m      G     A                                                    D         
       Every  time I think I'm off and runnin', I'm barely up to a crawl

F#m      G     A                                             D                 
       Every time I get a leg up on the ladder of success I slip and fall

Em     F#m      G
       Like last week down at the factory I was up for a promotion

           D           F#m              G
But the boss's little brother got the call

        D                      A                     D    Em    F#m     G
Seems every time I make my mark somebody paints the wall

        D                        A                           D   G   D   A   D    D    A    D 
Seems every time I make my mark somebody always paints the wall
