Intro/Verse:

And I could paint you red

Like the passion you feel

It might not be colorful

But at least it'd be real

And I could paint you green

Like the envy you know

You're all alone and I

With nowhere to go

(Belted)

And I could paint you grey

To show how you're empty

To show how you don't care

So the world can all see

--------Chorus*---------------------------------------------------

***************************

And I could paint you clear

E/F#

I'd make you graceful

I'd make you beautiful

Cause that's what you are

***************************

C# A E B

Strum , , , through once

And I could paint you taupe

Cause they say that it's soothing

But you're like a drug to me

That could use some abusing

(Belted)

And I could paint you gold

To show you're a mourner

Would that make you honest

Would it make you sincere

--------Chorus---------------------------------------------------
