But that doesn't sound as good. [Chords] D4 xx0565 D2 xx0343 D xx0232 C x12030 G 320033 [Intro] D4 D2 D4 D2 D [Verse 1]
    D4                D2
The pictures that you paint

                              D
Aren't as pretty as they once seemed to me

        D4       D2                   D
And the coffee's bitter because it's been boiling too long

        D4        D2
And the jokes you tell

            D
Aren't as funny as they once seemed to me

        D4        D2          D
And the songs you sing are just plain hackneyed
[Chorus]
        D     C             G         D
But the stars shine down on all god's children

        D   C           G               D
And the sun sets on the good and on the evil

    D C G     D
And I    know you

    D C G     D
And I    know you
[Interlude] D4 D2 D4 D2 D [Verse 2]
    D4        D2                D
The throbbing flowers outside I get it

        D4    D2                 D
And the paint peeling from the bathroom wall

        D4           D2      D
And the smile on your face is alive

        D4           D2      D
And the smile on your face is real pretty
[Chorus]
        D   C              G         D
And the sun shines down on all god's children

        D     C            G                D
And the stars burn for the good and for the evil

    D C G
And I    know you

    D C G
And I    know you
[Outro] D4 D2 D4 D2 D
