              Intro: 
D Bm G A 
 
D                Bm 
When God paints, birds sing 
G                                    A 
He colors every feather on a sparrows wings 
D                Bm 
When God paints, the wind blows 
G                                              A 
With a stroke of love, he dips his brush in the rainbow 
G                             A 
Sometime's I take for granted the simple things 
G                         A 
I can be as big as critic when it starts to rain 
G                                   A 
But there's always a bigger picture I can't explain 
D                Bm 
When God paints, the heart beats 
G                                    A 
Life begins, season ends and lovers meet 
D                Bm 
And I've learned that sometimes 
G                                          A 
It's not always black and white but well defined 
         D 
When God paints 
 
Bm G A 
 
G                              A 
Sometime's I take for granted the simple things 
G                                 A 
I can be as big as critic when it starts to rain 
G                                  A 
But there's always a bigger picture I can't explain 
          D          Bm 
When God paints, we dance 
G                                   A          
And I reach across the canvas and I take your hand 
D                  Bm 
And my world is so complete 
G                                          A 
When I look at you, a masterpiece is all I see 
          D 
When God paints 
 
D 
 
G                                 A 
Sometime's I take for granted the simple things 
G                                 A 
I can be as big as critic when it starts to rain 
G                                           A 
But there's always a bigger picture I can't explain 
          D 
When God paints 
 
Bm 
 
G                               A 
I pray I always see the beauty inside the frame 
          D 
When God paints 
 
Bm A D
