Intro: A Gbm D A E

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


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


D             Gbm
Oh, what can I do?
D                  E
Nothing my sparrow, blue.

E       D
Life is beautiful,
                      Gbm        E
But you don't have a clue.
A       Dbm     Gbm             
Sun and ocean, blue,
E    D        
That magnificence,
                       Gbm       E
It don't make sense to you.

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


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


D             Gbm
Oh, what can I do,
D                            E
To turn you on or get through you?
