The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

So, what if I was just a painter painting houses on the rich blue coast?

Would you ever try to leave me for somebody who deserves you most?

'Cause darling I am just a painter

I'm painting houses for the rich old folks

I'm gonna make a million dollars, 'cause nobody's gonna steal you, no

For diamonds and gold

For diamonds and gold

'Cause I've broken bones for you, and for you only

I make money, but we just can't keep this home

Give me your heart and your hand

Then we can run, we can run, we can run, baby run now

We can run, baby run

She's like a bullet through an ocean

I still remember how you moved so slow

Till you killed me with your shotgun

Bang, now we're even

We don't stop till someone's bleeding

We don't stop till someone's bleeding

'Cause I've broken bones for you, and for you only

I make money, but we just can't keep this home

Give me your heart and your hand

Then we can run, we can run, we can run, baby run now

We can run, baby run, baby you're mine

Permanently yours, we go

Sometimes, the moon looks brighter then the sun

It's times like this; run up my wrists

She hates all of the guts and blood

Slash around with me

While we move like flames on burning shades

Your doctor won't stop calling me her medication

But, baby, sometimes things don't work out the way we've planned

To live is just to fall asleep

To die is to awake

Oh, but maybe we're meant to lose the ones we love

But, I'll fight for you till then

And if they stole you from you me

On my arm is a tattoo of your name

I've broken bones for you, and for you only

I make money, but fuck money we want love

Give me your heart and your hand, and we can run
