[Verse 1]
F#m G D AOh, what a gift it is to be noticed
F#m G D ABut it's nothin’ to Do with me
E G You've got to wonder if there's a reason to believe
[Chorus]
D A/C# Bm A/C# GIt’s a life---time of learnin' to paint by numbers
E DAnd watchin' the colours run
[Instrumental]
A/C# Bm A D
G E
[Verse 2]
D A/C# It's a little bit complicated
Bm A/C#When they put an image in your head, and now you're stuck with it
D A/C# You're the luckiest, oh, the irony
Bm A/C# D A/C# Bm A/C#Holdin' the weight of the American children whose hearts you break
F#m G D AWas it a tragedy when you told her
F#m G D A"I'm not even thirty-three"?
E G A little self-compassion and a life within your means
[Bridge]
D A/C# Bm A/C# GIt’s a life---time of pickin’ from one or the other
E D A/C# Bm A/C# G EKids with water guns, watch them run
[Chorus]
D A/C# Bm A/C# GIt’s a life---time of learnin' to paint by numbers
E DAnd watchin' the colours run
[Outro]
A/C# Bm A/C#
