Bb7M  Dm7  Am7  A7


[Verse 1]
Dm7                                      Am7
Do I learn about you in the back of your car
Am7                                   Dm7
Do I see who I am in the red of your scars
Dm7                                   Am7
Do I learn about us in the roses you send
Am7                              A7
Do I see who I am when only the thorn are left

[Chorus]

Bb7M             Dm7
Pain is tempo...rary
           Am7
But I will pick .....for you
Bb7M         Dm7
Love is momentary
            Am7
But you're permanent
N.c.                  Bbmaj7
Permanent like a bad tattoo
Dm           Am7    A7
Ooh, A bad tattoo, ooh
                      Bb7M
But I won't get you removed
Dm7         Am7    A7
Ooh, A bad tattoo, ooh

[Verse 2]
Dm7                                        Am7
Should I think about us and every penny I spend
Am7                                               Dm7
Are we a match made in heaven, is the devil our friend
Dm7                                          Am7
I hope I write about love, in the letters I sent
Am7                            A7
Do you know what I am, do you know what I meant

[Chorus]

Bb7M             Dm7
Pain is tempo...rary
           Am7
But I will pick .....for you
Bb7M         Dm7
Love is momentary
            Am7
But you're permanent
N.c.                  Bbmaj7
Permanent like a bad tattoo
Dm7          Am7    A7
Ooh, A bad tattoo, ooh
                      Bb7M
But I won't get you removed
Dm7         Am7    A7
Ooh, A bad tattoo, ooh

[Bridge]
Bb7M               Dm7                         Bb7M
(Should regret it) Pardon me I can never remove it
Bb7M                       Dm7
(Never gonna let it show) Holding on when you know I shouldn't
Bb7M                           Dm7
(Should regret it it I don't) Don't know, don't know you
Am7        N.C.                  Bbmaj7
Permanent, Permanent like a bad tattoo
