Mrs. Stadler,

to paint, to paint?

Mrs. Stadler, would you teach me how...?
G Bm Bb
Mrs. Stadler
A Dm
your hair is turning grey
F Cm
I heard about yourself today
Eb D
I didn't wanna leave that way, oh oh oh
Bb
If you see me again,
A
will you still be my friend?
Dm G
(Why must we grow older, older?)
Bb
And when we meet again,
A
just after freedom ends,
Dm G
(When the world is almost over, over)
Bb A
will everything still be the same?
Dm G C A
Bam, bam, bam...
Dm
I come in peace
G
to drink your wine
C A
and find myself in photographs.
Dm
We're all crossing
G
the starting line,
C A
it hurts my head to think of this.
Dm
I want to be
G C
a space in time
(The bass runs through an octave in C Major)

taught me to paint
G Bb
she told me to live my own way

but your life will happen anyway
A
oh oh oh
(Repeat)
End:
