If I Were A Painting

	  		 


G                 D 
If i were a painting    
C                        B        
Captured on canvas 
C                      D               Em 
Alone in the portrait I would stand 
Em                            D       
And brush strokes bold 
C                            B   
Yet soft as a whisper 
C                       D           Em 
The work of a feminine hand 


C                      D    
Caught in a still life 
G                        C 
Surrounded by shadows 
F                                        B 
Or lost in a background of blue 


G                            D 
If I were a painting 
C                            B 
My price would be pain 
              C                         D              Em 
And the artist would have to be you

G                               D 
I imagine the colors 
C                                B 
Would all run together 
C                          D                 Em 
If you ever allowed me to cry 
C                               D 
So don't paint the tears 
C                                   B 
Just let me remember me 
C                     D          Em 
Without you in my life 

C                          D 
It's only the frame 
C                           B 
That holds me together 
  C                        D                   Em 
Or else I would be falling apart 

G                           D 
If I were a painting 
C                     B 
I wouldn't fear 
             C                                 D               Em 
And you wouldn't be breaking my heart
