Must I paint you a picture (Billy Bragg) intro: C - G - Am
CGF It's bad timeing and me GC We find a lot of things out this way G And there's you FG A little black cloud in a dress CG The temptation AmF To take the precious things we have a part CGC To see how they work GAmFC Must be resisted for they never fit together again GAm If this is rain let it fall on me and drown me GAmG If these are tears let them fall
CGAm Must I paint you a picture CGAm About the way that I feel CAmG You know that my love for you is strong girl CAmG You know that my love for you is real
CGF It took a short walk and a talk GC To change the rules of engagement GFG While you searched frantically for reverse CG And then claiming AmFCA That virtue never tested is no virtue at all CGAm And so I lost my ignorance F-GAm And now the bells across the river chime out your name GAmG I look across to them again (chorus)
EmC All your friends sais come down
It will never fly
F And on that imperfect day G We threw it all away EmAm Crisis after crisis, with such intensity FG This would never happen if we lived by the sea
CGF Most important decisions in life GC Are made between two people in bed GFG I found that at my own expense CG And when I see you AmFCGC You juts turn around and walk away like we never met GAmF Oh we used to be so brave GAmG I dreamt the wolrd stopped turning as we climbed the hill AmG I dreamt impossible dreams that we were lovers still (chorus)
