GD
If i were a painting
CB
Captured on canvas
CDEm
Alone in the portrait I would stand
EmD
And brush strokes bold
CB
Yet soft as a whisper
CDEm
The work of a feminine hand
CD
Caught in a still life
GC
Surrounded by shadows
FB
Or lost in a background of blue
GD
If I were a painting
CB
My price would be pain
CDEm
And the artist would have to be you
(Music break .... used open chords )
GD
I imagine the colors
CB
Would all run together
CDEm
If you ever allowed me to cry
CD
So don't paint the tears
CB
Just let me remember me
CDEm
Without you in my life
CD
It's only the frame
CB
That holds me together
CDEm
Or else I would be falling apart
GD
If I were a painting
CB
I wouldn't fear
CDEm
And you wouldn't be breaking my heart
