Paint The Town Beige Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[D][G][D][A][D]
[Bm][D][A][D][Bm][D]
I gave [A]up the fast

[Verse 1]
[Bm]
[D]lane [G]for a [D]blacktop county [Em]road
[D]Just burned out on all that talk about
[A][In[D]comprehensible]
I traded [A]for a song[Bm]bird,
[D]a b[G]igger piece [D]of sky[Em][D]
When I miss the good old days
I [A]can't imagine [D]why

[Verse 2]
Still I get [G]restless and drive into [D]town
I cruise once [A]down Main street
and turn back [D]around
It's crazy but [G]God knows
I don't act [D]my age
Like an old desper[A]ado who
paints the town [D]beige
[A][Bm][A][D][A][Bm][A]

[Verse 3]
[D]Down alo[A]ng the riv[Bm]er,
[D]pas[G]t the swimming hol[D]e[Em][D]
You can find your piece of
mind with [A]just a fishing pole
[D]And you can[A] walk the riv[Bm]er for
[D]mil[G]es and mil[D]es on end[Em]
[D]And never stop believing in that
[A]dream around [D]the bend

[Verse 4]
But still I get [G]restless and drive [D]into town
My radio play[A]ing, my window roll [D]down
It's crazy but [G]God knows
I don't act my [D]age
Like an old desper[A]ado who paints the town [D]beige

[Interlude 1]
[Bm][A][D][A]
[D][Bm][A][D][A][Bm][D][G][D][Em][D][A]
[D][A][Bm][D][Bm][A][D]
Deep [A]down in the [D]winter

[Verse 5]
[Bm],
[D]tim[G]e slows to a c[D]rawl[Em]
[D]There's really nothing much to
do un[A]til the first spring thaw
[D]It's then I get[A] to thi[Bm]nking
[D]I mus[G]t have gone ins[D]ane[Em]
[D]Memories roll through my mind
like [A]a long slow railroad [D]train

[Verse 6]
Still I get [G]restless and drive [D]into town
Watch the world through a wind[A]shield
as it all comes un[D]wind
It's crazy but [G]God knows
I don't act my [D]age
Like those old des[A]peradoes who paint
the town [D]beige[A][D][Bm][A][D][Bm][A]
[D]I gav[A]e up the[Bm] fast lan[A]e
