Art Class

C Em
Now it stings keeping my eyes open
Am F
My shoes are covered in charcoal dust
C Em
I’ve been up since eight this morning
Am F
Pretty soon I might combust
C Em
But I’m close to a finished drawing
Am F
Of what you’ve put in front of me
C Em
I’m just running on autopilot
Am F
When all I want is to fly free.

Dm Am Dm G

(C Em Am F)
In Art105 when I mess up
I know I can erase
But my heart isn’t here anymore
You can see it in my face
I work so hard but it’s all for nothing
And I don’t want to transfer
I’m filling up a sketchbook but
Art Class isn’t even in my major.

Dm Am Dm G Dm Am Dm G C

C Em Am F
Now I’ve made so many mistakes
I wish I could erase
But when you look at me
You’ll see a smile on my face
If I could be anywhere else
You know I’d be with you
So I’ll sketch your hand holding mine
Am Dm G C
I have lots of art homework to do.
