Chords with lyrics
Gretchen Peters - Picasso And Me
CAPO: 2nd Fret
INTRO: C majorC
Picasso's in the kitchen stirring up a stew
FF
He pours himself a bowl and then he fixes me one too
And we sit out on the terrace and the birds fly through the trees
C majorC G+G
And he captures them on canvas and I capture them in dreams
C majorC
And we pass a lazy afternoon, as happy as can be
Am7Am7 FF
With the brushes and the turpentine
C majorC
Picasso and me
He picked me up in Paris, I was scrounging in the streets
He shared his cream for coffee and I curled up at his feet
FF
And ever since that moment I've been his confidante
C majorC G+G
He says that it's uncanny how I know just what he wants
C majorC
But we both like our freedom and quiet company
Am7Am7 FF
In the end we're not so different
C majorC
Picasso and me
BRIDGE:
G+G C majorC
Sometimes he gets angry when they say he's just a fraud
FF C majorC
And he curses at the canvas and he shakes his fist at god
Am7Am7 C majorC
Who are these rogues, who are these fools
FF C majorC G+G C majorC
Who made this game, who made these rules
The critics criticize him and the women come and go
They'll never understand him, they don't know what I know
FF
They're just too damned demanding, they just won't let him be
C majorC G+G
And I'm glad to see them go and then it's back to him and me
C majorC
And the lazy summer afternoons, the sunlight through the trees
Am7Am7 FF
The brushes and the turpentine
C majorC G+G
And Picasso and me
C majorC
Just Picasso and me
