BAND IN ON D HOLD ?TIL VERSE 

D
Tumbleweeds, pump jacks, wind mills, train tracks 
C                         G
I ain't never comin' back baby 
D
Highways, byways, gotta' do it my way 
C                             G
Only thing that's ever gonna' save me 
       Em                  D
Gotta' whole lotta' livin' still left to do 
    Em                    D
And I don't believe I can do it with you 
           G                        C
We put our best foot forward but we kept fallin' down 
  G                                 C
I think you'll feel better when I'm not around 
       D
Not a- - round 

Chorus 
    G                         C
You painted me a picture of a life so grand 
G                         C
Little white house on our own piece of land 
    D    
You Painted in the kids and the dog and the car 
    C     
You Painted in the sun and the moon and the stars (+4) 
        G                                C
But You Never stopped to tell me how I'd feel so alone 
    G                               C
You Never mentioned nothin' 'bout a combat zone 
            Am                     D
So When you get around to paintin' me 
         C                   G
Color me gone, just color me gone 3rd TIME END 
D                      
Phoenix, Abilene and every place I've never seen 
    C                      G
I'm gonna' see 'em all now baby 
D     
Gulf Coast, ranch land, maybe join a country band 
    C                                G
And sing about the way that you be ? -trayed me 
          Em                  D
I'm gonna live my life to the fullest I can 
  Em                          D
I Don't have to worry 'bout a battle plan 
            G                          C
I?ll Put my best foot forward and if I ever fall down 
     G                         C
I'll pick myself up and get on solid ground 
      D
Solid ground
