Soft Picasso chords and lyrics - VIC CHESNUTT

Lời & hợp âm

[Verse 1]
[D]It was a [G]modern love affair
[Am]Com pletely cool and c[C]asual
They [G]hardly knew each other was there
I mean [Am]Both of them had their
own getting off [C]to do
And they had to dream
[Am]about their own [Em]self

[Verse 2]
[C]When they were through
But the modern girl was [D]elated
With what [C]the revolu[Em]tion [D]gave her
And [C]since she [Em]was libera[D]ted
she could have
[C]Everything [Em]that [D]striked her fancy

[Verse 3]
And she [G]fancied quite a bit
I mean [Am]if it felt good she [C]did it
And she [G]did it every chance
she could [C]get[G]
With her [Am]main modern man
and [C]otherwise
And her taste [Am]was n't limited
to just [C]modern guys
Since another modern girl [D]showed her
That mod[C]ern girls know how to [D]hold her

[Verse 4]
And [C]after she had her eyes [D]opened
All her [C]old close friends
started [D]getting closer
And [Am]new friends weren't
that [C]far [D]awa[G]y
But the modern man he just
wasn't so [D]lucky
[Em]He being shook from [D]his usual
role as [Am]the heartb[D]reaker
He was [G]completely battered
and be[D]wildered
When he [Em]actually started [D]in
feeling [Am]something [D]for her

[Verse 5]
And [Em]he discovered
a new emo[C]tion
When they stopped [G]ending up
together as [D]frequently[Em]
And when he finally confronted
her with [C]the question
"had she been [G]bedding down with others in the
[D]periphery [Em]without him?"
And she replied [C]"Hell yes!
ain't [Em]it funny!"
[D]So [G]view the modern man [Am]looking,
looking, [C]looking,like a soft Picasso
He's [G]there with his head in his hand
Re[Am]peating to himself an [C]epigram
[Am]"live by the scam, [C]die by the scam."
