G F
There's a picture on the wall of me on a John Deere
Bb C
Jenny handed me a beer, said "How the hell did you get there?"
G F Bb C
Oh, Oklahoma, mhm, hm
G F
There were flowers that were dry sittin' on the dresser
Bb C
She asked me where they from, I said "A place I don't remember"
G F Bb C
Oh, Oklahoma, oh, mhm
F C
Jenny jumped into the pool, she was swimmin' with Nikki Lane
Gm Bb
She said "Most men don't want a woman with a legacy, it's of age"
F C
She said "You can't be a muse and be happy too, you can't
Gm Bb F C Gm Bb
Blacken the pages with Russian poetry and be happy
F C Gm Bb
And that scared me, 'cause I met a man who
F C
Said he'd come back every May
Gm Bb F C
Just to help me if I'd paint my banisters blue
Gm Bb
Blue banisters, oh
F C
Said he'd fix my weather vane
Gm Bb
Give me children, take away my pain
F C
And paint my banisters blue
Gm Bb
My banisters blue
[Verse 2]
G
There's a hole that's in my heart
F
All my women try and heal
Bb
They're doin' a good job
C
Convincin' me that it's not real
G F Bb C
It's heat lightnin', oh-uh
G
'Cause there's a man that's in my past
F
There's a man that's still right here
Bb C
He's real enough to touch in my darkest nights
G F Bb C
He's shining, ooh-oh
F
Jenny was smokin' by the pool
C
We were writin' with Nikki Lane
Gm Bb
I said I'm scared of the Santa Clarita Fires
I wish that it would rain
F
I said the power of us three
C
Can do absolutely anything
Gm
Except that one thing
Bb F C Gm Bb
The diamonds, the rust and the rain
F C Gm Bb
The thing that washes away the pain
But that's okay, 'cause
[Verse 3]
F C
Now when weather turns to May
Gm Bb
All my sisters come to paint
F C
My banisters green
Gm Bb
My blue banisters grey
F C
Tex and Mex are in the Bay
Gm Bb
Chucky's makin' birthday cake
F C
Chickens runnin', bare feet, there's a baby on the way
Gm Bb
And now my blue banisters are green and grey, ah
[Bridge]
F C
Summer comes, Winter goes
Gm Bb
Spring I skip, God knows
F C
Summer comes, Winter goes
Gm Bb
Spring I sleep, Heaven knows

To paint, paint
