Intro: B Abm E B Gb

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


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


E             Abm
Oh, what can I do?
E                  Gb
Nothing my sparrow, blue.

Life is beautiful,

But you don't have a clue.
B       Ebm     Abm             
Sun and ocean, blue,
Gb    E

It don't make sense to you.

           Abm                  E
My wedding dress black leather too.
            B
You have no room for light,
        Gb            
Love is lost on you.


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


E             Abm
