Intro: A E Em D6 Dm6 A Dm6 E
A E Em D6
if a picture paints a thousand words then why can't I paint you?
Dm6 A Dm6 E
the words will never show the you I?ve come to know
A E Em D6
if a face could launch a thousand ships the where am I to go?
Dm6 A Dm6 E
there's no one home but you, you're all that's left me to
F#m C# A D6
and when my love for life is running dry
Em F#7 Bm E7
you come and pour your---self on me
A E Em D6
if a man could be two places at one time I?d be with you
Dm6 A Dm6 E
tomorrow and today beside you all the way
A E Em D6
if the world should stop revolving spinning slowly down to die
Dm6 A Dm6 E
I?d spend the end with you and when the world was through
F#m C# A D6
then one by one the stars would all go out
Em F#7 Bm E7 A / / / Bm / / / Dm6 / / / A Hold
then you and I would simply fly away...
