G / C / G / / / 2 / C / G / / / 2 / / / C / G / C / D7 / G / / /
You don't have to paint me a picture
The handwritin's on the wall
It's very plain to see that you don't love me
No, you never loved me at all
Verse 2:
You've been out with other fellas
You think that I don't know
Well, you don't have to paint a rose on me
'Cause I knew it long ago
CHORUS:
I have tried to make excuses for the things you do
I've tried to be fair in every way
It's no use pretendin' that you haven't been untrue
It's over now, so I'll be on my way
Verse 3:
I don't need a fortuneteller
I don't need a crystal ball
It's very plain to see that you don't love me
No, you never loved me at all
