Intro: E Dbm A E B

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


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


A             Dbm
Oh, what can I do?
A                  B
Nothing my sparrow, blue.

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

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


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


A             Dbm
Oh, what can I do,
A                            B
To turn you on or get through you?
