Look out for the nice hammer ons around the G before it goes back into the chorus. There's little
embellishments throughout the song but they're not essential, so you should be able to use
these chords as a basis to make the song your own.
Standard tuning (CAPO ON 4)
CHORUS
CMy age is my condition
GMy love is my intentF
AmI'll paint time with ageless lFove
EmOr forget what came and wentG
GFor a well full of contCent
VERSE
CThere's a space in the Fheavens
EmThere's a hole in myG heart
CThere's a lack of fiFne dining gone to Emwork on my Gart
AmThere's a flavour of Ffullness
EmThere's an empty retGreat
CAnd the restaurantF buffet is an Emall I can eat G
CHORUS
CMy age is my condition
GMy love is my intentF
AmI'll paint time with ageless lFove
EmOr forget what came and wentG
GFor a well full of contCent
VERSE
CHard work to Fget up
EmToo quick to gGet down
CWhile love, food, anFd money
EmDo all the trade in Gthis town
AmWith eyes looking hFollow
EmAnd my bones are stiGll white
CI haven't the paFtience to stayEm out tonight G
CHORUS
CMy age is my condition
GMy love is my intentF
AmI'll paint time with ageless lFove
EmOr forget what came and wentG
GFor a well full of conteCnt
VERSE
CStuck with thoughts of the buttFercups
EmAnd the bees that doG naught
CBut suck on thFe yellow as nature hEmas taught G
AmI'll suck on tFhe colors that I findEm in the seGa
CThe blues and theF greens, they don'Emt bother mGe
CHORUS
CMy age is my condition
GMy love is my intentF
AmI'll paint time with ageless lFove
EmOr forget what came and wentG
GFor a well full of contCent
CMy soul is in the trees
CIts in the sap that fills the wood
GIts in the rings that tell the rain
FIts in the smoke that marks the day
AmIts in the fire in my heart
FIts in the embers in the soot
EmIts in the place I put the ashes
GIts in the soil it's in the grass
GIts in the miles of all the herd
CIts in the beetles and the birds
GIts in the feathers that I found one morning lFying on the ground
CIts hallelujah and oh
CIts where I’ve been and where I go
DmIts in the people that I meet
AmIts feeling silent at their feet
FIts ever dutifully yours, it stems my pride
FIt opens doors
CHORUS
CMy age is my condition
GMy love is my intentF
AmI'll paint time with ageless lFove
EmOr forget what came and wentG
GFor a well full of contCent
