[G]
[Gm] [Cm] [G]
[G]
[D] [G] You could walk in the room and find [C] me talking to myself.
[Gm]
[G]
You could go [C]
downtown and see me acting like somebody else.
[Gm]
[G]
[D] I'm just trying to paint it in the sky, [C] trying to let you know [G] I love [C] you so.
[G]
[D] [G] This is the first time I met you babe, [C] oh you've been cutting me like a knife.
[Gm] [G]
Jumping every [C] time you spoke and laughing at every joke.
Oh you just can't keep walking on [A] your [Gm] own life.
[G] I'm [D] just trying to paint it in the sky, [C] trying to let you know I [Gm] love you so.
[D]
[A] I had to [G] do something about it, [C] I [Dm] decided this couldn't go [G] on.
All [C] the times I [G]
worried and doubted, [C] [Dm] all the times I had gone [G] wrong.
[C] So I started to [G]
write a letter [C] to [Dm] send to my baby's [C] home.
[G] But instead I went right there to [C] get her.
[Dm] I was [C] feeling so [G] all alone.
[C] But as I got [G] to the door, [C] I [Dm] tried to remember what I [Gm] wrote.
[G] But [C] the words [G] had a burn like coals in my heart, [D] they choked like soap in my throat.
[Gm] That's why if you don't [Fm]
[C] know about that woman, then I don't believe you can [Gm] see to write your [G]
name.
I've [D] done everything in the world to let [C] you [G] know.
Darling [Gm] please don't say I played the losing [G]
game.
