YOU DON'T HAVE TO PAINT ME A PICTURE
written by Snuff Garrett, Leon Russell, and Roger Tillison
performed by Gary Lewis and the Playboys
tab transcribed by Collins Crapo 

G / C / G / / / 2 / C / G / / / 2 / / / C / G / C / D7 / G / / /
                  C          G
You don't have to paint me a picture
                 C      G
The handwritin's on the wall
                                C          G
It's very plain to see that you don't love me
        C           D7    G
No, you never loved me at all

Verse 2:
You've been out with other fellas
You think that I don't know
Well, you don't have to paint a rose on me
'Cause I knew it long ago

CHORUS:
C                            Em                 Am
I have tried to make excuses for the things you do
     C                         D
I've tried to be fair in every way
C                               Em             Am
It's no use pretendin' that you haven't been untrue
                                D
It's over now, so I'll be on my way

Verse 3:
I don't need a fortuneteller
I don't need a crystal ball
It's very plain to see that you don't love me
No, you never loved me at all

G / C / G / / / 2 / C / G / / / 2 / / / C / G / C / D7 / G / / /

(repeat chorus and verse 3)
