 ETip toe over landmines
 BFalling for the last time
 C#mOver me, Aover yEou
 ESunshine's a cold war
 BLove strong from a high heart
 C#mCrushing me, crAushing yEou
 BC#maby I'm still wounded from the lBast fight
 Tonight the wAalls are high, I'm scaredB  
 LC#move, please surrender cos' my hBeart is blind
 And I'm to wAeak to climb your fAmear
 EYou raise the picture save the frG#mame
 We've been painting with tC#mears on the brush, tears on the brush
 TAears only seem to colour pEain
 EThis picture will never chG#mange, no
 No more painting with tC#mears on the brush, tears on the brush
 TAears only seem to colour pEain
 ECrying wicks on a wildfire
 BOnly made the flames higher
C#mBurning me, buArning yoEu
EFacing a new nightmare
 BWake up if you still care
 C#mAbout me, abAout yEou
 LC#move, please surrender cos' my hBeart is blind
 And I'm to wAeak to climb your fAmear
 EYou raise the picture save the frG#mame
 We've been painting with tC#mears on the brush, tears on the brush
 TAears only seem to colour pain
