Intro:  Dm7, F2, Gsus


Dm7                              F2
Look what I’ve done, this picture I’ve painted,
Gsus
It looks like my heart or what still remains
Dm7                                       F2                          Gsus
Convinced of the wieght your interpretations are not what I see


I wish they could be, but...
Dm7  F                  G
I remember it was much redder, and...
Dm7   F                  G
I remember it was much brighter
E   F#m7  G           A
Can you stay for a while?
Asus
Try to imagine this
E     F#m7  G         Asus
Could you be for a while?
                              E      F#m7   G       Asus
I can’t remember it Could you fall for a while, ’cause I can’t escape from
this


Dm7                     F2                        G
Try to explain the way the fame doesn’t quite fit the image
                                        Dm7
Or surrounded the edge It stands on display
F2
What do you see?
Gsus
Behold all the new gray.
What’s become of the old me?


Dm7       F                   G
’Cause I remember it much redder and...
Dm7       F                G
I remember it much brighter
E    F#m7  G         A
Can you stay for a while
                             E    F#m7  G        A
Try to imagine this could you be for a while?


’Cause I can’t remember it?
E  F#m7    G          C                 A
Could you fall for a while, ’cause I can’t escape from this?
E  F#m7    G
Can you stay for a while?


Fmaj7     Am7       Fmaj7    Am7               Fmaj7         Am7
Calling, crying ashamed of what I am not really falling, falling...
Fmaj7                   Am7
Into this cage, and I can’t escape
C2     Dm7
No, I can’t escape, No I can’t

Dm7 F  G


Dm7
So look what I’ve done
F2                         Gsus
Picture I’ve painted doesn’t quite fit or surround the edge
Dm7     F              G
But I remember it much redder


C/G  E  F#m7  G  Gmaj7  A


                               E     F#m7  G              Asus
Try to imagine this, Could you be for a while?


’Cause I can’t remember it
E  F#m7  G        Asus
Could you fall for a while


And I can’t escape from this
E  F#m7   G           C2          A
Can you stay for a while?  I can’t escape...
E  F#m7    G         Fmaj7    Am7  C2     Dm7
Could you be for a while, for a while, for a while
I can’t, I can’t


Fmaj7, Am, Fmaj7
