Adding The Blue

C G Am F 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 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 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 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 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 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 x 3
