[Intro]
Am G F G x8

[Verse 1]
Am G F G Am G F G
When all the help in the world won't get you by
Am G F G C
When all the friends that you lean on let you down
E
You'll wonder why
Am G F G/E
I see you there with your painting box
Am G F G/E
And your oils and brushes and your artist's smocks
C Dm F G
What'll you do if the Muse gets lost
Am
When I'm gone?

[Instrumental]
Am G F G x4

[Verse 2]
Am G F G Am G F G
You painted me in the way you said you knew
Am G F G C E
I don't believe that I saw myself in anything you drew
Am G F G/E
I say you never quite caught it right
Am G F G/E
You say you see me in a different light
C Dm F G
What'll you do with your black and white
Am G F G Am G F
When I'm gone

[Chorus]
A
You paint by numbers
G F E
I never noticed it before
A
You paint by numbers
G F G
It's just a closing of an open door
C B
When you're looking round
Bb Am
You won't see me no more
G F
You paint by numbers

[Instrumental]
Am G F G x4
