Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[C]You[G] li[C]ve[G]
[C]your lif[G]e
[Am]Painting by numbers [F]from one [Fm]to five
[C]Figures [G]outlined
Neatly outlined
[C]

[Verse 2]
[G]
But [C]those you [G]try
So [Am]hard to control [F]will step
[Fm]out of line
'Cause [C]nothing in life
[G]Is so clearly defined
[C]

[Verse 3]
[F]You know that I've tried
To [Fm]play by your rules
[C]I've smiled Mona Lisa
To your Leonardo

[Verse 4]
You col[F]our me red
Though I'm [Fm]feeling blue
Alone [C]in your bed
[G]Waiting for you

[Verse 5]
You [C]brush [G]aside
All [Am]sign of emotion [Fm]ever denied
No [C]clouds in your [G]sky
No waves on your [C]ocean

[Interlude 1]

[Verse 6]
[F]You know that I've tried
[Fm]To play by your rules
[C]You played the king
And I played the fool

[Verse 7]
[F]You painted my heart
A like[Fm]ness so true
So [C]why did you then
Have [G]to tear it in two?

[Verse 8]
You [C]live your [G]life
[Am]Painting by numbers [Fm]from one to five
[C]Figures [G]outlined
Neatly outlined
[C]

[Verse 9]
[G]
But as [C]the years go [G]by
Your col[Am]ours will run
[F]and fade [Fm]in to nothing
And [C]one day you'll [G]find
That your life has run [C]dry
