Chords with lyrics
E MajorE BB
Had my canvas primed in white, some water by my bed,
A augmentedA E MajorE
A augmentedA wooden palette smeared with reds and grays and blues,
BB
Dipped my brush into the paint, traced the outline of your face,
A augmentedA E MajorE
Then I washed it clean for color number two.
A augmentedA BB
There's a little drop of paint in a mason jar of water,
C# minorC#m
That turned every last ounce a crimson hue,
A augmentedA BB
And it's the same with you, you had a minute with my heart,
E MajorE
Now you color everything that I do.
E MajorE BB
Stew pot's on the boil, house was filled with steam,
A augmentedA E MajorE
Bowls and spoons in twos like Noah's ark,
BB
Dash of salt and spice to make it like you like,
A augmentedA E MajorE
Bring it to my lips and there you are.
A augmentedA BB
There's a little pinch of salt in a ladle full of comfort,
C# minorC#m
That opens all the flavors into bloom,
A augmentedA BB
And it's the same with you, you had a minute with my heart,
E MajorE
And now you color everything that I do.
C# minorC#m F#F#
A augmentedA flower turns its face to the sun,
BB E MajorE
Snow melting makes the river run,
A augmentedA AbAb
Tide rises high to meet the moon, meet the moon.
E MajorE A augmentedA BB E MajorE (x2)
A augmentedA BB
There's an echo in my ear sounding like your voice,
C# minorC#m
A augmentedA feeling that fills any empty room,
A augmentedA BB
You had a minute with my heart and I live it every day,
C# minorC#m
'Cause when you brushed against my heart it soaked through,
A augmentedA F#F#
And now my whole world is tinted with you,
A augmentedA BB E MajorE
Yeah, you color everything that I do.
BB E MajorE
*leading into the Chorus there's also a little bass note walk-up: E/ F#/ AbAb
