   C                F
I feel just like Picasso
     Em              F
And you're my masterpiece
   C             F
I painted you a lifetime
            Am           F
Now what's left are memories

Sunlight's in the curtains
Diamonds in the trees
I gave you colors blue and gold
As you lay upon the sheets

Chorus:
 G              E/G#    Am                   F
Something so familiar drawn from this blank page
G           E/G#                  Am             G      F
Every line from my hand takes me back to what I can't erase
    F             G      Am            F
No matter how I try, no matter what I do
      F             G           C
I'm still painting pictures of you

I could almost smell your perfume
In each brush stroke of the flowers
I left you tea from China
Waiting in your sacred tower

Chorus

F                G    E/G#            Am
If I should go crazy, if I would go blind
F                   G               E/G#           G
I'd still fill the canvas from the pictures in my mind
     F                              G
If that's the only way to make you mine

Chorus:
        G              E/G#
It was something so familiar
 Am                    F
Drawn from this blank page
G           E/G#                  Am             G       F
Every line from my hand takes me back to what I can't erase
    F             G     E/G#          Am
No matter how I try, no matter what I do
      F             G            E                F
I'm still painting pictures, I'm always painting pictures
  F             G          C
Still painting pictures of you
