D
Paint my picture if you must
Please remember to be kind.
G D
'Cause darling, your broken heart was never on my mind.
Paint me with a villain heart
Like some cruel valentine
G D
But darling, your broken heart was never on my mind.
Bm F#m
And when you feel the clash,
G D
And you don't want me around
Bm F#m
Could you endure the rasp as
G D
kisses filled with fibreglass rain down

Heavy as a hummingbird
But more difficult to find
G D
Well darling,your broken heart was never on my mind.

D
Clumsy as a ragtime clown
Or a dancing Frankenstein
G D
Well darling,your broken heart was never on my mind
Bm F#m G D
So pull this canvas down beneath that angry moon
Bm F#m
As you endure the sound of
G D
One more singer singing out of tune.
Out of tune.
D
So paint my picture if you must
Not forgetting to be kind.
G D
'Cause darling, your broken heart was never on my mind.
