You Don't Have To Paint Me A Picture

INTRO 
 
 
 
D              G     A         D  
 That kiss was colder than I remember, 
      G               A  
When we first said hello. 
D            G         A         D 
 I guess the flames now a little lower, 
      G                A 
I can feel you letting go. 
 
 
 
D             G          A         D 
 You know the paint dries a little darker, 
          G                A 
Than when you first put it on. 
D             G                   A            D 
 I guess your love's like some old cheap magic marker, 
         G              A 
Said 'forever', now its gone. 
 
 
 
    D                 G          A    
But you don't have to paint me a picture, 
D                 G          A  
You don't have to say a thing at all. 
D                 G          A 
You don't have to paint me a picture, 
G              A              D 
 I can see the writing on the wall.

INSTRUMENTAL 
 
 
 
D              G    A          D          
 When we first fell, we fell a long way, 
       G                 A    
Summer nights and winter days. 
D         G       A          D   
 Mountain sunrise, and ocean sunsets, 
        G         A 
Hand in hand in a daze. 
 
 
 
D        G        A       D 
 Now its cold hard summer evenings, 
            G               A 
And there's clouds on my sunrise. 
D              G            A             D 
 But you don't have to smile and say your happy, 
      G                  A 
I can see what's in your eyes. 
 
 
 
    D                 G          A    
And you don't have to paint me a picture, 
D                 G          A  
You don't have to say a thing at all. 
D                 G          A 
You don't have to paint me a picture, 
G              A              D 
 I can see the writing on the wall. 
      G             A                   D 
Yeah, I can see the writing on the wall.
