4/4 - Standard Tuning, play chords in higher voicing (barred)




A5        C#5            D5 Eb5 E5
I sing a song about clouds and rainbows 

A5        C#5            D5 Eb5 E5
I hum a tune that sings like a dove. 

A5    Ab5      C#5       F#5  
Rhyme some words about anything 

A5   E5     A5
Anything but love.


 
A5        C#5            D5 Eb5 E5
I paint a picture of my prison 

A5        C#5            D5 Eb5 E5
With blue and grey from the skies above 

A5    Ab5      C#5       F#5 
Framed and signed with the title 

A5   E5     A5
"anything but love." 



D5              C#5
He had to go but I won't miss him 

C5                   Eb5 E5
I have got better things to do 

A5    Ab5      C#5       F#5 
Like writing stories and painting pictures 

A5   E5     A5
Of anything but love. 



A5        C#5            D5 Eb5 E5
I write a story about a couple 

A5        C#5            D5 Eb5 E5
Steal a plot from an old movie 

A5    Ab5      C#5       F#5
You can tell what inspired it 

A5   E5     A5
Anything but love.
