Seeing as I don't ever want to paint it black no

Now the name on the cover of a magazine
G
that i've been reading since i was seventeen

Padded up and purified man's world of shame
Em
And when the winter keeps creeping after your fall
G
The green piece of paper inside you is cold

And will carry you beneath the fields for the growing grain
[Chorus]

Is all that's left of me
