   C               G 
I feel just like Picasso 
     Am         F 
And you're my masterpiece 
   C             G 
I painted you a lifetime 
           Am            F 
Now what's left are memories 
Oooh 
 
 C                 G 
Sunlight's in the curtains 
 Am               F 
Diamonds in the trees 
   C               G 
I gave you colors blue and gold 
       Am             F 
As you lay upon the sheets 
 
F               E       Am                  C 
Something so familiar drawn from this blank page 
F           E                    Am                    C 
Every line from my hand takes me back to what I can't erase 
    F             E     Am            C 
No matter how I try, no matter what I do 
     F              G          C 
I'm still painting pictures of you 
 
I could almost smell your perfume 
In each brush stroke of the flowers 
I left you tea from China 
Waiting in your sacred tower 
 
Something so familiar drawn from this blank page 
Every line from my hand takes me back to what I can't erase 
No matter how I try, no matter what I do 
I'm still painting pictures of you 
 
F               G     E              Am 
If I should go crazy, if I would go blind 
F                   G               E              Am 
I'd still fill the canvas from the pictures in my mind 
    F               G              E 
If that's the only way to make you mine 
 
It was something so familiar 
Drawn from this blank page 
Every line from my hand takes me back to what I can't erase 
No matter how I try, no matter what I do 
I'm still painting pictures, I'm always painting pictures 
Still painting pictures of you
