Josh Ritter – Paint Your Picture (Guitar)

A#13
Pictures on my wall

G#13
In fifteen different colors

A#13
Starting with vermillion

G
The first flower of the summer

Em A
And I don't think I'll be finished

D Dsus2  D
'Til I've begun to understand this

G
With you stretched out in the sunlight

Em A
As your laughter fills my canvas

A#13
The sun falls in like fingers

G#13
On your back against the blinds

A#13
Tracing out your hours

G
It is filling in your lines

Em A
Well your curl defines your spiral

D Dsus2 D
As you sillouette the window

G
And my brush forgets itself

Em A
Spills lines upon your pillow

            A#13
Finds you standing in the middle

   A#13      A#13  G#13 D G
Of lines you laid down before

Em                 A            A#13
Trying to paint my picture into yours

A#13
Let me paint you in the corner

G#13
As your shoulders trap the light

A#13
See the sunset filling golden up

G
The wineskin of the night

Em A
I have seen your eyes in paintings

D Dsus2 D
As cathedrals cried hosanna

G
Let me paint your face in frescos

Em A
Hang your hair like candellabras

            A#13
Finds you standing in the middle

   A#13      A#13  G#13 D G
Of lines you laid down before

Em                 A            A#13
Trying to paint my picture into yours

A#13
In the morning let me find you

G#13
As I call to you by name

A#13
Your body warm beside me

G
Not imprisoned in a frame

Em A
I could never find the colors

D Dsus2 D
Or the light to finally paint you

G
With those roses in your hair

Em A
The smell of wine and mortal perfume

            A#13
Finds you standing in the middle

   A#13      A#13  G#13 D G
Of lines you laid down before

Em                 A            A#13
Trying to paint my picture into yours
