Intro:
Aadd2 E/G# Em/G Esus4/F#
Asus4/F A Dm6 E7
Verse 1:
Aadd2 E/G#
If a picture paints a thousand words
Em/G Esus4/F#
Then why can't I paint you
Asus4/F A
The words will never show
Dm6 E7
The you I've come to know
Aadd2 E/G#
If a face could launch a thousand ships
Em/G Esus4/F#
Then where am I to go
Asus4/F A
There's no one home but you
Dm6 E7
You're all that's left me too
Chorus 1:
F#m F#mMaj7/F
And when my love
A6/E D6
For life is running dry
C#m7b5 F#
You’ll come and pour
Bm7 E7
Yourself on me
Verse 2:
Aadd2 E/G#
If a man could be two places
Em/G Esus4/F#
At one time, I'd be with you
Asus4/F A
Tomorrow and today
Dm6 E7
Beside you all the way
Aadd2 E/G#
If the world should stop revolving
Em/G Esus4/F#
Spinning slowly down to die
Asus4/F A
I'd spend the end with you
Dm6 E7
And when the world was through
Chorus 2:
F#m F#mMaj7/F
Then one by one
A6/E D6
The stars would all go out
C#m7b5 F#
Then you and I
D6/B D/E G# Aadd2
Would simply fly a - way

Bm7 Dm/F Aadd2 (F#m/A)?
