Tattoo Jason Derulo
From the 2013 album "Tattoos"
Tabbed by joeymocha
This tab is based on fingerpicking with the strumming hand while holding
chord forms with the fretting hand. Chord forms are shown above the tab.
When singing along, I like to simplify the fingerpicking, go ahead and
personalize the picking to suit your playing style.
This is in the same key as the song, and is played in standard EADGBe tuning.
Any comments or questions are appreciated.
Intro/Verse
NOTE: A bass guitar playing a E-Ab-A-A progression in a 3-5 pattern sounds good overlaid with this

Pre-Chorus:
NOTE: I like to use the powerchord-like A's for this, but the standard A works fine too

Lyrics/Arrangement
Verse:
[E]Who's more desperate? You're on your knees boo
[E/A]But when you fuck up, I don't leave [E]you
I can't leave yo[E/A]u
[E]Guess you're permanent, can't be removed
[E/A]Each time my heart breaks, it's like a new tat[E]too
Don't need a new tat[E/A]too
Prechorus:
[Dbm]One touch always makes me
[A]Too hard to escape
[Dbm]Three strikes, I'm still yours
[A]What am I waiting for?
Chorus:
I'm running out of r[E]oom
For your tat[E/A]toos
How can I get o[Dbm]ver you, over you
When you're a[B]ll over me
So don't tell me it's [E]cool
That I'm tatto[E/A]oed
How can I get o[Dbm]ver you, over you
When you're a[B]ll over me, yeah yeah
Why do we stay
When only fools would?
I guess we're both fools
'Cause the sex is good, it's way too good
Call us crazy, misunderstood
'Cause I can't leave you
And I know I should
People say I should
One touch always makes me
Too hard to escape
Three strikes, I'm still yours
What am I waiting for?
I'm running out of room
For your tattoos
How can I get over you, over you
When you're all over me
So don't tell me it's cool
That I'm tattooed
How can I get over you, over you
When you're all over me, yeah yeah
Bridge:
[Dbm]Permanently trying to hide
The sc[A]ars we can't remove
You're d[Dbm]rawn on me and I'm still drawn to y[B]ou
I'm running out of room
For your tattoos
How can I get over you, over you
When you're all over me
So don't tell me it's cool
That I'm tattooed
How can I get over you, over you
When you're all over me
