[Intro]
B


[Verse 1]
B                F          B
Oh my darling, I paint with patience
 F         G#m       Cm
Adorned my easel and read
B                 F       B
On the solemn and forlorn faces
     F      G#m    Cm
With colors of the wind
F        B          F       B
Like the painter, I sign my name
        F       G#m   Cm
Where I want it to be found
B               F
But you already know
                   B
How the story ends now


[Verse 2]
B                 F    B
Like the poet who came before us
    F       G#m    Cm
Now nestled in the grave
B            F          B
Never one to rejoice in chorus
   F        G#m    Cm
Or look you in the face
F             B          F        B
More like the ocean that find its home
       F            G#m  Cm
On the bright crest of a wave
B                 F
As the moon would shine
                B
On its breaking face


[Bridge]
B       F              B
Run far away from your kind
       F         B             B        B
As you carry the life that you left far behind
B        F        G#m
Lost for words to convey
       F      B             B       B
As the artist relies on the eyes to relay


[Verse 3]
B                F        B
Oh my darling, I wield my wishes
F         G#m    Cm
Along the canvas end
B                 F       B
Crimson, cad yellow, baby blue
F            B      Cm
Amaranth are my old friends
F       B           F          B
All the colors that lend their blessing
   F        B    Cm
Of kindness at a glance


[Outro]
B                  F
As the light would show
B
You how they dance
B                  F
As the light would show
B                   F
All the light would show
B              F
And life would throw
              B
You once more chance
