     D                                 Bm
She talks about the future like she's flippin'
           A
through a magazine
D                         Bm              A
Finds the beauty in the thrown away and broken
things
D                  Bm       A     D   Bm A
Gets excited about all my crazy dreams

Got every sunset that she's ever seen memorized
Saves them away for a rainy day or stormy night
The sky is 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

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

Chorus - x2

She is the painter
