If I Were A Painting

Tom : Em
G D
If i were a painting
C B
Captured on canvas
C D Em
Alone in the portrait I would stand
Em D
And brush strokes bold
C B
Yet soft as a whisper
C D Em
The work of a feminine hand
C D
Caught in a still life
G C
Surrounded by shadows
F B
Or lost in a background of blue
G D
If I were a painting
C B
My price would be pain
C D Em
And the artist would have to be you
(Music break .... used open chords )
G D
I imagine the colors
C B
Would all run together
C D Em
If you ever allowed me to cry
C D
So don't paint the tears
C B
Just let me remember me
C D Em
Without you in my life
C D
It's only the frame
C B
That holds me together
C D Em
Or else I would be falling apart
G D
If I were a painting
C B
I wouldn't fear
C D Em
And you wouldn't be breaking my heart
