(Capo on 1)

(Intro.)
None

(Verse)
It's hard to (A)say this
(D/F#) And I'm a little em-(G)barrassed
(G) But you've been asking where my (A)ring is
(D/F#) I guess it's time I be (G)honest
I gave it (A)4 hours drives, fly in for a (D/F#)night
Sat (G)through couples therapy, tears in my eyes
(A)Ifd sing his praises on (D/F#)every stage
And he (G)just had to mention, he hates the attention

(Chorus)
I painted (A)pink skies at sunrise to (Bm)cover all the (D)blue
Hide the (G)shaking ground and storm clouds, so you never knew
I (A)drew up excuses and (Bm)said "that's what (D)love is"
But (G)truth is, yeah the truth is
I painted him (A)perfect, (Bm) I (D)painted him per-(G)fect

(Verse)
(G) I had to break it to my (A)parents
And (D/F#)Daddy says we don't do di-(G)vorces
But they (G)got it once I told them some (A)stories
Do you even re-(D/F#)member August 14th? (G)
Main stage on the beach (G)
Atlantic city, I was (A)singing he was causing a scene (Em)
I'll keep the (G)rest between him and me

(Chorus)
I painted (A)pink skies at sunrise to (Bm)cover all the (D)blue
Hide the (G)shaking ground and storm clouds, so you never knew
I (A)drew up excuses and (Bm)said "that's what (D)love is"
But (G)truth is, yeah the truth is
I painted him (A)perfect, (Bm) I (D)painted him per-(G)fect

(Break)
You could say I missed some (Em)red flags
But what it (D/F#)comes down to is
I was (G)yellow, he was green
And all we (Gm)ever made was blue

(Chorus)
I painted (A)pink skies at sunrise to (Bm)cover all the (D)blue
Hide the (G)shaking ground and storm clouds, so you never knew
I (A)drew up excuses and (Bm)said "that's what (D)love is"
But (G)that's not what love is

(Chorus)
(G) I shouldn't have to paint (A)pink skies at sunrise
To (Bm)cover all the (D)blue (cover all the blue)
Hide the (G)shaking ground and storm clouds, so you never knew (you never knew)
I (A)drew up excuses and (Bm)said "that's what (D)love is"
But (G)truth is, yeah the truth is
I painted him (A)perfect
(Bm) I (D)painted him per-(G)fect, (I painted him perfect) no no
He didn't de-(A)serve it
(Bm) But I (D)painted him per-(G)fect, I painted him perfect, I painted him
