if i was a painter Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[Em]If I was a painter[G]
with colours [D]no en[Em]d
I'd paint the [C]whole [Am]thing [C]simply [Em]again
Where [C]everything run[G]s
in[C]to [G]everything
[Em]Where every colour is born without sin

[Verse 2]
[Em]Red be a[G] roarin' river in [Em]my veins
Green [C]be the beat of
the heart in [Em]the trees
[C]Blue be the pull [G]of [C]the moon
on [G]the tides
[Em]Let brown be the base of

[Verse 3]
some true loves eyes
[Em]Give us [G]a chance at an [Em]ear- ly life
then [C]pull it from under us when we arrive
[Am]Sending [C]us orderly[G].
[C]What choice had [G]I?
[C]Born under the only sky

[Verse 4]
[C]Vast, [D]vast, [G]vast
[C]Silver, [Em]gold and [Am]brass
[Em]The moon's [C]milk, the sun[G]'s silk
All [C]live amon[G]g t[Am]he stars

[Verse 5]
[C]I found out when I [G]listened
[C]Love is re[G]ceived [Em]from [G]love[Am][Em]
[C]Up- in the ste[G]ely night
Stars [C]span the [G]Galway [Am]Shawl
I was [C]scared

[Verse 6]
of the Underground in [G]London
at [C]the speed [G]of my [Em]genera[G]tion
[Am]at the old p[C]eople getting forgotten[G]
in this fuss [C]of [G]a world [Am]we spi- n

[Verse 7]
If [Em]I was a painter[G]
with colours [D]no [Em]en d
[C]I'd paint the whole thing simply again
Where everything [G]runs into [Em]everything
[C]Where every colour is born without sin

[Outro 1]
[C][Em]
