paint the town blue Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[Am][G][C][G]

[Verse 1]
[Am]I've tried to going out,
running 'round with the [G]party crowd
[C]Yeah, I was acting like that heartbreak
didn't mean [G]a thing
[Am]I've tried the burning it up
and the shutting it [C]down
Look how that turned out
I've done [Am]everything
but giving in to the [C]pain
So tonight
I ain't gonna [F]smile like it ain't hurting
I'm not drinking [Am]nothing but
some straight- up bourbon
I ain't gonna [Dm]lie,
I'm so lonesome I could cry
I'm gonna [C]pour it [F]out to
the dive bartender
Ain't going to the [Am]house till
I forget to remember
Ever since you [Dm]left I've been
trying to paint it red
But [C]tonight, [F]I'm doing something new
I'm gonna paint the town [Am]blue
I'm gonna paint [C]the town [G]blue
[Am]Gonna find me a barstool with a
silver line in silver [G]smoke
[C]Gonna fall to pieces like this barely
beating heart [G]you broke
[Am]Yeah, I've been acting like
you're something that I don't [G]want back
[C]But hell, this ain't that
I ain't gonna [F]smile like it ain't hurting
I'm not [G]drinking [Am]nothing but
some straight- up bourbon
I ain't gonna [Dm]lie,
I'm so lonesome I could cry
I'm gonna [C]pour it [F]out to
the dive bartender
Ain't going [G]to the [Am]house till
I forget to remember
Ever since you [Dm]left I've been
trying to paint it red
But [C]tonight, [F]I'm doing something new
[C]I'm gonna paint the town blu[Am]e
I'm gonna paint the [C]town
[G]blue[Am]
[G][C]
I ain't gonna smile [Dm]like it [Bb]ain't hurting
I'm not [Am]drinking nothing but
some straight- up bourbon
I ain't gonna [Dm]lie,
I'm so lonesome I could cry
I'm [C]gonna pour it [F]out to the
dive [Am]bartender
Ain't [Dm]going to the [Am]house till
I forget to remember
Ever since you [Dm]left I've been
trying to paint it red
But [C]tonight, [F]I'm doing something new
I'm gonna paint the town [Am]blue
I'm gonna paint the [C]town blue
I'm gonna paint the town blue
