Verse:
A
Moonlight on canvas, midnight and wine
F#m D E
Two shadows starting to softly combine
A
The picture they're painting is one of the heart
F#m E
And to those who have seen it it's a true work of art
Chorus:
A E F#m
Oh, the red strokes passions uncaged
D E
Thundering moments of tenderness rage
A E F#m
Oh, the red strokes tempered and strong (3nd time fearlessly drawn)
E Dsus2
Burning the night like the dawn
Verse:
Steam on the window, salt in a kiss
Two hearts have never pounded like this
Inspired by a vision that they can't command
Erasing the borders with each brush of a hand
Chorus:
