Intro: Bb Gm Eb Bb F

            Bb  
I paint my nails black,
         Gm                     Eb 
I dye my hair a darker shade of brown,
                     Bb
'Cause you like your women,
               F
Spanish, dark, strong and proud.


              Bb
You paint the sky black,
            Gm
You said if you could have your way,
             Eb
You'd make a nighttime world today,
                 Bb            F
So it'd suit the mood of your soul.


Eb             Gm
Oh, what can I do?

Nothing my sparrow, blue.

But you don't have a clue.
Bb       Dm     Gm             
Sun and ocean, blue,

I paint the house black,
           Gm                  Eb
My wedding dress black leather too.
            Bb
You have no room for light,
        F            
Love is lost on you.


          Bb
I keep my lips red,
             Gm              Eb
To seem like cherries in the spring.
             Bb
Darling, you can't let everything,
     F
Seem so dark blue.


Eb             Gm
Oh, what can I do,
Eb                            F
To turn you on or get through you?
