Lời & hợp âm

[Intro 1]
[C][F][Dm][C][G][C][F][Dm][C]

[Verse 1]
Well, [C]I
hear you are a painter now
Though you're [F]almost halfway through
You pulled a pal[C]let knife,
you cut away a wife
And [G]you started something new

[Verse 2]
But, it was [F]not the strife of married life
That or[C]dained what you would [D]do
[F]A quick look back through your [G]history
Shows the [F]same things goading you
[C]

[Verse 3]
It's just like you to try painting
Be[F]cause you're color blind
Each [C]time you conquer something
That's [G]the time you change your mind

[Verse 4]
And now your [F]new preoccupations
Give you your [C]handicap to [D]start
[C]Yes, you're [F]happiest when
[G]you're chasing clouds
With [F]a halfway broken [C]heart

[Verse 5]
Paint a [Dm]picture of yourself
[G]Let the ima[F]ges fla[Dm]sh past
[C]Don't wee[Dm]p on wat[G]ercolors,
Michael
[F]Make this [Dm]moment [C]last
Paint [Dm]the kid with restless [G]eyes
Yeah, the [F]way you looked [Dm]back [C]then
'Cause [F]the man keeps
getting [G]frightened
When the [F]boy's not born

[Interlude 1]
again
[C][F][Dm][C][F][Dm][C][F]
[C]

[Verse 6]
I [C]remember how you led us
Back [F]when we all were kids
And [C]that fact thet you were older
Made [G]us copy what you did

[Verse 7]
[F]The day you bought that cheap guitar
We [C]all fell into [D]line
[F]We got hooked on mu[G]sic
But [F]you drifted off in time

[Interlude 2]
[C][F][C]

[Verse 8]
So, I can [C]see you at your easel
Splay [F]legged ther you stand
And your [C]eyes are darting back and forth
Brush [G]flashing in your hand
You're [F]reaching always
for that dream
[C]You need to make you [D]real
[F]Leaning in a [G]heavy wind
That [F]no one else can [C]feel
