Intro A E Em D Dm A Dm6 E7


     A                Amaj7
If a picture paints a thousand words
     A7                D
Then why can`t I paint you
    Dm               A
The words will never show
    Dm6              E7
The you I`ve come to know

     A                   E
If a face could launch a thousand ships
     G             D
Then where am I to go
        Dm              A
There`s no one home but you
       Dm6                E7
You`re all that`s left me too
    F#m     C#       A               D6
And when my love for life is runnin` dry
    C#m7     F#7      Bm7     E7
You come and pour yourself on me


     A                Amaj7         A7
If a man could be two places at one time
            D
I`d be with you
  Dm         A
Tomorrow and today
  Dm6              E7
Beside you all the way


       A                   E
If the world should stop revolvin`
         Em             D
Spinning slowly down to die
    Dm                 A
I`d spend the end with you
    Dm6                E7
And when the world was through
     F#m    C#      A                  D6
Then one by one the stars would all go out
     C#m     F#7
Then you and I
      Bm7    E7  A    D  Dm A
would simply fly away......
