In a [C]promised lie you [F]made us be[E]lieve
For [Am]many [Am7]men there is [F]so much [C]grief
And my [F]mind is proud but it [C]aches with [E]rage
And if I [Am]live too [Am7]long I'm a[F]fraid I'll [C]die ...

Story of an Artist (Daniel Johnston)

Chords used: C-Dm



Listen up and I'll tell a [C]story, about an artist growing [Dm]old
Some would try for fame and glory, others aren't so [C]bold

Everyone, and friends and [C]family, saying, "Hey! Get a [Dm]job!"
"Why do you only do that only? Why are you so [C]odd?

We don't really like what [C]you do. We don't think anyone ever [Dm]will.
It's a problem that you have, And this problem's made you [C]ill."

Listen up and I'll tell a [C]story, about an artist growing [Dm]old
Some would try for fame and glory, others aren't so [C]bold

The artist walks [C]alone. Someone said behind his [Dm]back,
"He's got gall to call himself that! He doesn't even know where he's [C]at!"

The artist walks among the [C]flowers. Appreciating the [Dm]sun
He does this all his waking hours, but is it really so [C]wrong?

They sit in front of their [C]TV, saying, "Hey! This is [Dm]fun!"
And they laugh at the artist, saying, "He doesn't know how to have [C]fun."

The best things in life are truly [C]free, singing birds and laughing [Dm]bees
"You've got me wrong," says he. "The sun don't shine in your [C]TV"

Listen up and I'll tell a [C]story, about an artist growing [Dm]old
Some would try for fame and glory, others aren't so [C]bold

Listen up and I'll tell a [C]story, about an artist growing [Dm]old

We don't really like what [C]you do. We don't think anyone ever [Dm]will.
It's a problem that you have, And this problem's made you [C]ill."

Listen up and I'll tell a [C]story, about an artist growing [Dm]old
Some would try for fame and glory, others just like to watch the[C]world
