Intro: G Em C G D

            G  
I paint my nails black,
         Em                     C 
I dye my hair a darker shade of brown,
                     G
'Cause you like your women,
               D
Spanish, dark, strong and proud.


              G
You paint the sky black,
            Em
You said if you could have your way,
             C
You'd make a nighttime world today,
                 G            D
So it'd suit the mood of your soul.


C             Em
Oh, what can I do?
C                  D
Nothing my sparrow, blue.


G    Bm        Em
Oh, what can I do?
D       C
Life is beautiful,
                      Em        D
But you don't have a clue.
G       Bm     Em             
Sun and ocean, blue,
D    C        
That magnificence,
                       Em       D
It don't make sense to you.

            G
I paint the house black,
           Em                  C
My wedding dress black leather too.
            G
You have no room for light,
        D            
Love is lost on you.


          G
I keep my lips red,
             Em              C
To seem like cherries in the spring.
             G
Darling, you can't let everything,
     D
Seem so dark blue.


C             Em
Oh, what can I do,
C                            D
To turn you on or get through you?
