Adding The Blue Chords

Capo 2(Key: D)

 
Intro:     C      G      Am      F
 
 
Verse:
C                    F
Everybody's asking where did you go ?
                         C
This was gonna be my masterpiece
       C                        F
The paint's not even dry yet, oh no
                                Am
I could trace the outline of a shadow
                   Em
I need blood and breath
             G
To mix my colours
 
 
Chorus:
               C
Where did you go
            G
After you promised me a portrait
             Am                F
Took off your clothes, held a pose
             C           G
Drawing your arms, your hands and veins
                    Am
And fingers and your lips
        F
Broken nose
        C               G
On your eyes, so just stare into the distance
          Am                     F
Please don't move, whatever you do
                       C
While I'm adding the blue
 
 
Verse:
C                        F
I know I'm not Monet or Van Gogh
                              C
I can't draw like S. Clay Wilson
     C
You got inside this brush
            F
That drips with red
                         Am
I can't draw from memories or photos
                   Em
I need blood and breath
         G
But you left me nothing
 
 
Chorus:
               C
Where did you go
            G
After you promised me a portrait
             Am                F
Took off your clothes, held a pose
             C           G
Drawing your arms, your hands and veins
                    Am
And fingers and your lips
        F
Broken nose
        C               G
On your eyes, so just stare into the distance
          Am                     F
Please don't move, whatever you do
                       C
While I'm adding the blue
 
 
C      G      Am      F
 
 
Bridge:
  C
Closed this chapter yesterday
 G                                Am
Take this page and throw it away
                                  F
Fill the holes in, sand the wall
 
You were never here at all
     C                               G
The warmth where someone never stood
                          Am
Promises were never good
                                   F
The smell of human sweat and tears
 
A passing thought, the passing year, baby
 
 
Chorus:
               C
Where did you go
            G
After you promised me a portrait
             Am                F
Took off your clothes, held a pose
             C           G
Drawing your arms, your hands and veins
                    Am
And fingers and your lips
        F
Broken nose
        C               G
On your eyes, so just stare into the distance
          Am                     F
Please don't move, whatever you do
                       C
While I'm adding the blue
