A EFaintest smell of perfume, and coffee in the air
F#m DDust hangin up, in the sun rise glare
A EIn a bathrobe in the kitchen, her eyes soft and dry
F#m DNever leave the cup, she's been holding through the night...
N.C.
...and she says...
[Chorus]
A EThis is gonna take some effort, and a second coat of paint
F#m DIt's gonna take some tears, and the patience of a saint
A EIt's gonna be a patchwork, cause you just can't erase
F#m DThe pain underneath, it ain't gonna Go away
F#m EIt's gonna take a lifetime; the colors, you can change
D AYou can cover up what's done, but it'll never be the same
[Verse 2]
A EA little boy's hands, held by his mom's
F#m DA little boy's arms, poked full of holes
A EShe whispers in his ear, as the beep starts to slow
F#m DMe and dad'll be okay, we know it's your time to go
[Chorus]
A EThis is gonna take some effort, and a second coat of paint
F#m DIt's gonna take some tears, and the patience of a saint
A EIt's gonna be a patchwork, cause you just can't erase
F#m DThe pain underneath, it ain't gonna Go away
F#m EIt's gonna take a lifetime; the colors, you can change
D AYou can cover up what's done, but it'll never be the same

A EThirty turns later, thorns on a rose
F#m DDraw blood from my hand, next to this hole
A EDark red petals, twist into the earth
F#m DAnd faint in the ether, I can hear her words...
N.C.
...and she says...
[Chorus]
A EIt took a lot of effort, and so many coats of paint
F#m DIt took a lot of tears, and the patience of a saint
A ELife is a patchwork, cause you just can't erase
F#m DThe pain underneath, it never went away
F#m EIn the end, every lifetime, ends in a grave
D AYou can fill in the hole, but it'll never be the same
