Why won't you chase after me?

And paint it over?

I look for a picture of you
A# C#m        G#
To keep in my pocket

But I can't seem to find one
F          A    A#    C    F
Where you look how I remember
A     A#    C    F
Look how I remember
A     A#    C    F
Look how I remember
F        A#
Paint it over
