About a year ago I went to a Bettie Serveert concert in Amsterdam, Holland. When the concert was over, I found this paper on stage. It said 'Paint this Day' and it had some chords on it. Bettie Serveert just released their new album, 'Lamprey', and it's fucking Brilliant. But there's no song called Paint this day on it. After listening the album a few times, I found out the song on the paper I Foudn was Keepsake, the first song on the album. Since the paper originally Belonged to Peter Visser, the guitarist of Bettie Serveert, I think my Source is quite accurate. Here's what the paper sais:
Am G F - C G Am D F
Chorus: Am C F C Am G F - Paint this day
Chorus: Am C F C
End

I found a message of Joop schmit ([email protected]) here a week ago and it Contained the chords of Keepsake, the first song on the album Lamprey by Bettie Serveert. As this album is, according to Joop Schmit and me too, fucking Brilliant I decided to find out the lyrics and put these two things together. It is very hard though to find out lyrics to Bettie Serveert songs, but I think I fairly succeeded. A few things are missing, but hey: nobody's perfect. I hope I got everything right. Many thanks tot Joop Schmit and of course Peter Visser, the guitarist of Bettie Serveert. I wish everybody lots of fun playing it.
Keepsake by Bettie Serveert
Wrapped up in blue Painted by me and you Some thought it's changed by the truth We somehow keep smiling through It's all we got instead It sometimes feels so near And then I reach out and it just disappears
Was it something that I said I feel so many moods Written all across your head They lie there two and two It sometimes feels so near Then I reach out and it just disappears
Intro
I could smell the fallen rain I know that's in the park The kind of things you can't explain I feel them in your heart It sometimes seems so near And then I reach out and it just disappears
Chorus
Paint this day Let's keep this one forever Wrap it up inside your heart
Paint this day For worse if not for better Save it up 'till............ (?)
'cause that's why I sometimes stay awake Pondering endlessly in reach of understance Just for keepsake
Instr.: (?)
Intro
It sometimes seems so clear And then I reach out and it just disappears
