[VERSE 1]
F Dm C G
Connect the constellations in a pattern so brand new
F Dm
We’ll paint our own from ash and bone
C G
Under the skies just me and you
F Dm C G
We’ll shape the world into a place we’ll never have to part
F Dm C G
‘Cause leaving you’s the hardest thing when I find you own my heart
[CHORUS]
F Dm
The Artist and the Writer
C G
Look for horizons so much brighter
F Dm C G
The paint of her brushes are strewn across the sky
F Dm
The clouds painted in rainbow hues
C G
The lonely artist has found her muse
F Dm C G
In a man who sees the world in only ink and lines
F Dm C G

[VERSE 2]
F Dm C G
I never believed much in tales of men with mighty swords
F G
The pen I find much mightier
C G
When held by you a man of words
F Dm C G
The rest of our story untold I know not of content
F Dm C G
But sitting here beside your side I find myself more than content
[CHORUS]
F Dm
The Artist and the Writer
C G
Look for horizons so much brighter
F Dm C G
The paint of her brushes are strewn across the sky
F Dm
The clouds painted in rainbow hues
C G
The lonely artist has found her muse
F Dm C G
In a man who writes the world in only pen so fine
F Dm C G

[VERSE 3]
F Dm C G
I saw the world and kept boundaries in solid black line
F Dm C G
and painted walls so pretty for my heart to hide behind
F Dm C G
I built myself a fortress and I dawned my paper crown
F Dm C G
But brick-by-brick with roughened hands you tore it all down
[BRIDGE]
F Dm C G Am
The paper crumbles easily it shreds and tears away
F Dm C G Am
A sopping mess of solitude I said I was okay
F Dm
Arms open wide with pleading eyes
C Am
By your side I’ll stay
F Dm
I worry but I trust you
C G
Is all that I could say
[CHORUS]
F Dm
The Artist and the Writer
C G
Found horizons so much brighter
F Dm C G
Watercolor paints are poured into the sea
F Dm
The thickest ink in depths so blue
C G
Create an ending where I’m with you
F Dm C G
The margins of our worlds all start to run and bleed
F Dm
The Artist and the Writer
C G
Hand-in-hand I squeeze much tighter
F Dm C G
Sitting side-by-side in the open night
F Dm
Fireflies illuminate
C G
The narrative we navigate
F Dm C G
As we make our mark on a canvas so white
F Dm C G
