INTRO:
[F] [F/E] [F7] [A#] [A#m] [F] [A#m] [C]

VERSE 1:
If a [F] picture paints a [F/E] thousand words
Then [F7] why can't I paint [A#] you
The [A#m] words will never [F] show
The [A#m] you I've come to [C] know

VERSE 2:
If a [F] face could launch a [F/E] thousand ships
Then [F7] where am I to [A#] go
There's [A#m] no one home but [F] you
You're [A#m] all that's left me, [C] too

CHORUS 1:
And [Dm] when my [A] love for [F] life is running [Gm7] dry
You [Cm6] come and [D7] pour your [A#] self on [C] me

VERSE 3:
If a [F] man could be two [F/E] places
At one [F7] time I'd be with [A#] you
To-[A#m]-morrow and [F] today
Be-[A#m]-side you all the [C] way

VERSE 4:
If the [F] world should stop re-[F/E]-volving
Spinning [F7] slowly down to [A#] die
I'd [A#m] spend the end with [F] you
And [A#m] when the world was [C] through

CHORUS:
Then [Dm] one by [A] one the [F] stars would all go [Gm7] out
Then [Cm6] you and [D7] I would [A#] simply [A#m] fly [/F] a-[F]-way

OUTRO: [A#m] [A#m] [F open]
