[Verse 1]
D7When I get G7old and find the time
I'll paint a C7picture about my life
I'll paint it G7blue for Em7you, I'll paint it Am7blue for D7you
You gave me G7love, a love so strong
I treated you C7so bad, I treated you C#m7wrong

Now I want to show,   I feel so low, I'm blue for you
[Verse 2]
When I was G7younger I tried so hard
To find a good C7woman and give her my love
I found a G7woman sweet as can Em7be, I found a Am7woman for D7me
I didn't G7know I had the world

Now that I G7know,   E7I feel so A7low, I'm C7blue for G7you
