Red House Painters was an alternative rock band from San Francisco, CA, United States, formed in 1989 by singer/songwriter Mark Kozelek, who is currently active in the band Sun Kil Moon, with part of the original RHP line-up.
The band is described, along with Low and American Music Club, as one of the linchpins of the slowcore movement in alternative rock. Kozelek used this group primarily as a vehicle for his very personal and emotional songs of despair, pain and suffering.

Verse 1: C1 F1 F2 G1 Am G1 F2 I can't let you be, cause your beauty won't allow me C1 F1 F2 G1 Am G1 F2 wrapped in white sheets, like an angel from a bedtime story G1 A1 G1 Am G1 F2 and shut out what they say, cause your friends are fucked up anyway G1 A1 G1 Am G1 F2 and when they come around, somehow they feel up and you feel down.
Verse 2: When we were kids, we hated things our parents did we listened low to Casey Kasem's radio show that's when friends were nice, to think of them just makes you feel nice the smell of grass in spring and October leaves cover everything.
Chorus: C2G2 G1 AmF2 Have you forgotten how to love yourself? x2
Verse 3: I can't believe all the good things that you do for me sat back in a chair like a princess from a faraway place nobody's nice, when you're older your heart turns to ice and shut out what they say; they're too dumb to mean it anyway
Verse 4: When we were kids, we hated things our sisters did backyard summer pools and christmases were beautiful and the sentiment of coloured mirrored ornaments and the open drapes look out on frozen farmhouse landscapes
Chorus 2: Have you forgotten how to love yourself? x6
