Must I paint you a picture

(Billy Bragg)

intro: C - G - Am

C G F

It's bad timeing and me

G C

We find a lot of things out this way

G

And there's you

F G

A little black cloud in a dress

C G

The temptation

Am F

To take the precious things we have a part

C G C

To see how they work

G Am F C

Must be resisted for they never fit together again

G Am

If this is rain let it fall on me and drown me

G Am G

If these are tears let them fall

C G Am

Must I paint you a picture

C G Am

About the way that I feel

C Am G

You know that my love for you is strong girl

C Am G

You know that my love for you is real

C G F

It took a short walk and a talk

G C

To change the rules of engagement

G F G

While you searched frantically for reverse

C G

And then claiming

Am F C A

That virtue never tested is no virtue at all

C G Am

And so I lost my ignorance

F-G Am

And now the bells across the river chime out your name

G Am G

I look across to them again (chorus)

Em C

All your friends sais come down

It will never fly

F

And on that imperfect day

G

We threw it all away

Em Am

Crisis after crisis, with such intensity

F G

This would never happen if we lived by the sea

C G F

Most important decisions in life

G C

Are made between two people in bed

G F G

I found that at my own expense

C G

And when I see you

Am F C G C

You juts turn around and walk away like we never met

G Am F

Oh we used to be so brave

G Am G

I dreamt the wolrd stopped turning as we climbed the hill

Am G

I dreamt impossible dreams that we were lovers still (chorus)
