♫ Verse 2:
D                           Bm        A
Got every sunset that she's ever seen memorized
D                    Bm           A
Saves in a way for a rainy day or stormy night
D                          Bm    A           D    Bm
The sky's brighter lookin' at it through her eyes


♫ Chorus:
A         G
I don't remember
                              D
Life before she came into the picture
                                 A
Brought the beauty I was missin' with her
                              Bm
Showed me colors I ain't ever seen
         G
She took chances
                                   D
With every wall I built, she saw a canvas
                                 A
I thank God every day for how He made her
                                 G
My life was black and white but she is the painter


♫ Verse 3:
D                      Bm                A
She reminds me that it ain't too late to start again
D                    Bm                   A
Fine is good but you need some blue every now and then
D                        Bm      A        D
How'd I live so long without her reckless touch?


♫ Chorus:
A         G
I don't remember
                              D
Life before she came into the picture
                                 A
Brought the beauty I was missin' with her
                              Bm
Showed me colors I ain't ever seen
         G
She took chances
                                   D
With every wall I built, she saw a canvas
                                 A
I thank God every day for how He made her
                                 G
My life was black and white but she is the painter


♫ Interlude:

I don't remember
                              D
Life before she came into the picture
                                 A
Brought the beauty I was missin' with her
                              Bm
Showed me colors I ain't ever seen
         G
She took chances
                                   D
With every wall I built, she saw a canvas
                                 A
I thank God every day for how He made her
                                 G
My life was black and white but she is the painter
