[Verse 1]
A E
Faintest smell of perfume, and coffee in the air
F#m D
Dust hangin up, in the sun rise glare
A E
In a bathrobe in the kitchen, her eyes soft and dry
F#m D
Never leave the cup, she's been holding through the night...
N.C.
...and she says...
[Chorus]
A E
This is gonna take some effort, and a second coat of paint
F#m D
It's gonna take some tears, and the patience of a saint
A E
It's gonna be a patchwork, cause you just can't erase
F#m D
The pain underneath, it ain't gonna go away
F#m E
It's gonna take a lifetime; the colors, you can change
D A
You can cover up what's done, but it'll never be the same
[Verse 2]
A E
A little boy's hands, held by his mom's
F#m D
A little boy's arms, poked full of holes
A E
She whispers in his ear, as the beep starts to slow
F#m D
Me and dad'll be okay, we know it's your time to go
[Chorus]
A E
This is gonna take some effort, and a second coat of paint
F#m D
It's gonna take some tears, and the patience of a saint

It's gonna be a patchwork, cause you just can't erase

[Verse 3]
A E
Thirty turns later, thorns on a rose
F#m D
Draw blood from my hand, next to this hole
A E
Dark red petals, twist into the earth
F#m D
And faint in the ether, I can hear her words...
N.C.
...and she says...
[Chorus]
A E
It took a lot of effort, and so many coats of paint
F#m D
It took a lot of tears, and the patience of a saint
A E
Life is a patchwork, cause you just can't erase
F#m D
The pain underneath, it never went away
F#m E
In the end, every lifetime, ends in a grave
D A
You can fill in the hole, but it'll never be the same
[Solo]
