capo 1st fret

VERSE

[A]I showed him my [D]notebook

[A]The underside [D]of my soul released

[A]In scribbles on [D]pages

[A]He smiled and [Aadd9]held my [A]hand

I knew that he would see

For he dreams of touching beauty too

There has to be more than

The work day

CHORUS

[C#m]He's painting [Bm]houses

[C#m]He's painting [Bm]houses for awhile

[C#m]Then home to his [Bm]canvas

[A]Coming to [D]life

VERSE progression repeat:

I write in my notebook

This feeling it takes me by surprise

In thoughts that I don't know

That I have

They're hidden by useless facts that I

Compile at the office where I work

Where there is no time for

Feeling anything

CHORUS progression repeat:

You see I just work there

To finance the real life that begins

With scribbles on pages

And thoughts of how and why

VERSE progression repeat:

Museums on Sundays

Whenever we can we both go

And stay there for hours

Feeding our spirit

CHORUS progression repeat:

And beauty is still free

And beauty is not exclusive

And beauty is ours to

Touch and to know

Touch and to know

VERSE progression repeat without Aadd9:

And don't you think there's more

I really have to know

Don't you think there's more to life? (2X)

Don't you think there's more to life? (3X)

repeat [A][D] to fade
