If I Were An Artist

	  		C#, A, E, B  x 1 

                      C# 
And I could paint you red 
                     A 
Like the passion you feel 
                 E 
It might not be     colorful 
                     B 
But at least it'd be real 

                      C# 
And I could paint you green 
                  A 
Like the envy you know 
           E 
You're all alone and I 
             B 
With nowhere to go 

                      C# 
And I could paint you    grey 
                   A 
To show how you're empty 
                      E 
To show how you don't care 
                 B 
So the world can all see 

                      E 
And I could paint you clear 
             E/F# 
I'd make you graceful 
             A5 
I'd make you beautiful 
                      E 
Cause that's what you are 


C#, A, E, B  x 1 

                      C# 
And I could paint you taupe 
                         A 
Cause they say that it's   soothing 
                  E 
But you're like a drug to me 
                    B 
That could use some abusing 

                      C 
And I could paint you gold 
                 A 
To show you're a mourner 
                    E 
Would that make you honest 
                  B 
Would it make you sincere 

                      E 
And I could paint you clear 
             E/F# 
I'd make you graceful 
             A5 
I'd make you beautiful 
                      E 
Cause that's what you are 

C#, A, E, B  x 1 

         C#     B5      A5 
Ohh scarlet and clover, all the things we talked about 
C#         B5            A5 
Violet and green and the world in between 
    C#               B5         A5                                                   E 
The grey skies, your blue eyes, broken, I'm drowning you know 

    E/F# 
I'd make you graceful 
             A5 
I'd make you so beautiful 
                      E 
Cause that's what you are 

               C# 
And I could be clear 
                   A 
Yeah you could see   through me 
               E 
But I could be beautiful 
           B 
Just to be yours,  

   A5        A5 
If I were an artist x2 
                E 
Then I could be yours
