INTRO



D              G     A         D 
 That kiss was colder than I remember,
      G               A 
When we first said hello.
D            G         A         D
 I guess the flames now a little lower,
      G                A
I can feel you letting go.



D             G          A         D
 You know the paint dries a little darker,
          G                A
Than when you first put it on.
D             G                   A            D
 I guess your love's like some old cheap magic marker,
         G              A
Said 'forever', now its gone.



    D                 G          A   
But you don't have to paint me a picture,
D                 G          A 
You don't have to say a thing at all.
D                 G          A
You don't have to paint me a picture,
G              A              D
 I can see the writing on the wall.

INSTRUMENTAL



D              G    A          D         
 When we first fell, we fell a long way,
       G                 A   
Summer nights and winter days.
D         G       A          D  
 Mountain sunrise, and ocean sunsets,
        G         A
Hand in hand in a daze.



D        G        A       D
 Now its cold hard summer evenings,
            G               A
And there's clouds on my sunrise.
D              G            A             D
 But you don't have to smile and say your happy,
      G                  A
I can see what's in your eyes.



    D                 G          A   
And you don't have to paint me a picture,
D                 G          A 
You don't have to say a thing at all.
D                 G          A
You don't have to paint me a picture,
G              A              D
 I can see the writing on the wall.
      G             A                   D
Yeah, I can see the writing on the wall.
