F#m               E                D
The blue paint is chipping from my heart
           F#m                     E                 D
And pretty soon it's gonna be that luscious shade of red


[Verse]

F#m                  E
I used to be another lonely boy
D
Some things in life I just could not enjoy
F#m                    E       D
Felt my heart had been painted blue
F#m                        E
Although I heard it said a million times
D
I finally paid attention to the line
          F#m                E            D                 
You can't love some 'til you start loving you, How true


[Chorus]

             F#m             E                D
That's why the blue paint is chipping from my heart
           F#m                     E                 D
And pretty soon it's gonna be that luscious shade of red
            F#m           E             D  
(Just like) Just like the apple for the picking
         F#m                        E              D
Don't hesitate another minute, just take me now instead


[Verse]

F#m                      E
I used to start and then apologize
      D
Now I get invitations from inviting eyes
F#m                      E    D
Can't keep up with these open doors
F#m                        E
It's kind of funny feeling where I'm at
D
0 to 60 babe in no time flat
F#m                E        D
Now I know when it rains it pours
Because the blue paint


[Chorus]

F#m               E                D
The blue paint is chipping from my heart
           F#m                     E                 D
And pretty soon it's gonna be that luscious shade of red
            F#m           E             D  
(Just like) Just like the apple for the picking
         F#m                        E              D
Don't hesitate another minute, just take me now instead
