[Intro] F  C/E  Dm  C/E
        F  C/E  Dm  C/E


Am           Bb    F        C
Oh, what a gift it is to be noticed
         Am         Bb      F   C
But it's nothing to do with me


G                                  Bb
 You've got to wonder if there's a reason to believe
        F  C/E Dm      ac         Bb
It's a life    time of learning to paint by numbers
 G                    F C/E Dm C F7 Bb G Bb G
Watching the colours run


F               C/E
It's a little bit complicated when
Dm                        C/E
 They put an image in your head, and now you're stuck with it
F                 C/E
You're the luckiest, oh, the irony
Dm         C/E            F         C/E           Dm          C/E
Holding the weight of the American children whose hearts you break
Am       Bb   F           C
Was it a tragedy when you told her
Am            Bb     F    C
I'm not even thirty-three?


G                               Bb
 A little self-compassion, and a life within your means
        F  C/E Dm      C           Bb
It's a life    time of picking from one or the other
G                F C/E Dm
Kids with water guns
C       F    Bb G
Watch them   run
        F C/E  Dm      C          Bb
It's a life    time of learning to paint by numbers
 G                   F C/E Dm C F Bb G
Watching the colours run
