Intro 
Am  G  F  G  (8x)


Verse 1:

Am G F G Am G F G When all the help in the world won't get you by Am G F G C When all the friends that you lean on let you down E You'll wonder why Am G F G/E I see you there with your painting box Am G F G/E And your oils and brushes and your artist's smocks C Dm F G What'll you do if the Muse gets lost Am When I'm gone?
Instrumental Am G F G x4

Verse 2:

Am G F G Am G F G You painted me in the way you said you knew Am G F G C E I don't believe that I saw myself in anything you drew Am G F G/E I say you never quite caught it right Am G F G/E You say you see me in a different light C Dm F G What'll you do with your black and white Am G F G Am G F When I'm gone

A You paint by numbers G F E I never noticed it before A You paint by numbers G F G It's just a closing of an open door C B When you're looking round Bb Am You won't see me no more G F You paint by numbers

Instrumental Am G F G x4 Solo Am G F G x14

Verse 3:

Am G F G Am G F G Staying here in this room just makes me pale Am G F G C E I never really could fit into your geometric scale Am G F G/E I see you measure my profile up Am G F G/E And you mix your paints in a broken cup C Dm F G What'll you do if the brush gets stuck Am G F G Am G F When I'm gone
