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)
