[Verse 1]
Em D Em D
Painting pictures of a thousand different paths
Em D Em D
We sketch an outline of a love that hopes to last
Em D Em D
Casting a wand over imaginary hopes
Em D Em D
And close our eyes so we don't feel the ebb and flow
[Chorus]
C D C D
And paintbox, you are my only hope
G D
of covering the faded past and starting out once more
C C C C
With a fortune in new colours, new hopes to inspire
G D G D Em
I paint the path I want to take and paint the life of fire
[Verse 2]
Em D Em D
Marking out our lives full of different plans
Em D Em D
Excitedly we hold the key to change our hearts and hands
Em D Em D
We climb the hill to see if green fields lie beyond
Em D Em D
Only to realise they've faded now and gone
[Chorus]
C D C D
And paintbox, you are my only hope
G D
of covering the faded past and starting out once more
C C C C
With a fortune in new colours, new hopes to inspire
G D G D Em
I paint the path I want to take and paint the life of fire
[Verse 1]
Em D Em D
Painting pictures of a thousand different paths

Casting a wand over imaginary hopes

And close our eyes so we don't feel the ebb and flow
