  			Intro: A  E/G#  Em/G  D/F#  Dm/F  A/E  Dm7  E7

      A    
If a picture paints
    E/G#                
a thousand words
      Em/G             D/F#
then why can't I paint you
      Dm/F             A/E
the words will never show
     Dm7               E7
the you I've come to know
      A 
If a face could launch
    E/G#
a thousand ships
       Em/G         D/F#
then where am I to go
         Dm/F             A/E
there's no one home but you
       Dm7                 E7
you're all that's left me to
    F#m   F#m7+   F#m7
And if my love for life
             D7+
is running dry
          C#m      F#7         
then you come and pour
     Bm      E7
yourself on me
If a man could be in two places
at one time id be with you
tomorrow and today
beside you all the way
If the world should stop revolving
spinning slowly down to die
Id spend the end with you
and when the world was through
     F#m    F#m7+
then one by one
      F#m7              D7+
the stars would all go out
      C#m    F#7
then you and I
       Bm        E7    A   D  Dm  A
would simply...fly ..away...
