Now when the paint jar tipped
Em
off of the table
Cmaj7 G/B B7
you watched as it started to fall
E7sus4 Em
Glass popped, shattered and splattered
Cmaj7 B7#9
and paint spray hit the wall
A4
Bright, blue glossy enamel
Cadd9 B7#9
a cross the kitchen floor
E7sus4 Em
You said, "Good God, look at that pattern
Cmaj7 B7 E A/E E
I've never seen that before"
Gmaj7 F#m7
Leave it like it is
Gmaj7 F#m7
never mind the turpentine
Gmaj7 F#m7
leave it like it is
B7 E7sus4
Its fine
Em E7sus4
Now when the paint dried
Em
You gave it a title
Cmaj7 G/B B7
You called it "Kitchen Blue"
E7sus4 Em
a white frame painted around it
Cmaj7 B7#9
and gallery lighting too
A4
Rich folks come over to dinner
Cadd9 B7#9
They all want one of their own
E7sus4 Em
They say "How much? Who's the artist"
Cmaj7 B7 E A/E E
And, "My what a beautiful home"
Gmaj7 F#m7
Leave it like it is
Gmaj7 F#m7
never mind the turpentine
Gmaj7 F#m7
leave it like it is
B7 E7sus4 E A E
Its fine
Em E7sus4
Now most folks suffer in sorrow
Cmaj7 G/B B7
Thinking they're just no good
E7sus4 Em
They don't match the magazine model
Cmaj7 B7#9
As close as they think they should
A4
They live just like the "paint by numbers"
Cadd9 B7#9
The teacher would be impressed
E7sus4 Em
A life-time of follow the lines
Cmaj7 B7 E A/E E
So it's just like all of the rest
Gmaj7 F#m7
Leave it like it is
Gmaj7 F#m7
never mind the turpentine
Gmaj7 F#m7
leave it like it is
B7 E7sus4 E A E
Its fine
