The Painter

G Em


[Verse 1]
Em
Fear of black and yellow

Is pushing in the blue
G
Here, I made a willow
          Em
Traces of you

Crushing a piano

The pieces in the yard
G
I can see the faces
             Em
Tracing your heart

Fear has made you shallow

Hiding in your tomb
G                                    Em
I'm screaming at the dust, "Is this good by you?"


[Chorus]
           C
Whoa-oh, oh-oh
               Am
Calling out in space
                C
Calling out for home
                  Am
I once called you friend
                 Bm
Greatest fool, I know
                      G
Been around the city
                        Bm
And out in the country
                            G
Been around the world, now
                      Bm
I'm out in the water
                         G
I'm waving not drowning
                              Em
What's lost in the painting?


[Verse 2]

Somebody y'all know
               G
Somebody y'all know

Somebody
Em
Somebody

Sienna yellow

Fire apple hue
G                                          Em
Whoa, I'm screaming at the dust, "Is this good by you?"


[Chorus]
           C
Whoa-oh, oh-oh
                   Am
I'm calling out in space
              C
On the canvas cold
              Am
On the pallet knife
             Bm
Only red you know
                           G
Been around the world now
                        Bm
And out in the country
                    G
Been to every city
                      Bm
I'm out in the water
                         G
I'm waving not drowning
                       Bm
I don't need a savior
                         G
I'm waving not drowning
                              C
What's lost in the painting?
                   Am                       C
What's lost in the painting, in the crimson holes?
                 Am                         Bm
What's under the shadows that you made your own?


[Outro]
                  G
Some can't see it all
                  Bm
Some can't see at all
                  G
Some can't see it all
                  Bm
Some can't see at all
                  G
Some can't see it all
                  Bm
Some can't see at all
                  G
Some can't see it all
                  Bm
Some can't see at all
                  G
Some can't see it all
Bm G
