If I Were A Painting Chords & Lyrics - Kenny Rogers

Capo 1sr fret

[G]If i were a painti[D]ng
[C]Captured on canvas [B]
[C]Alone in the portrait I[D] would stand [Em]
[Em]And brush strokes bold [D]
[C]Yet soft as a whisper [B]
[C]The work of a feminine h[D]and [Em]

[C]Caught in a still life [D]
[G]Surrounded by shadows [C]
[F]Or lost in a background of blue [B]

[G]If I were a painting [D]
[C]My price would be pain [B]
And the artist[C] would have to be you [D] [Em]

(Music break .... used open chords )

[G]I imagine the colors [D]
[C]Would all run together [B]
[C]If you ever allowed me to c[D]ry [Em]
[C]So don't paint the tears [D]
[C]Just let me remember me [B]
[C]Without you in my life[D] [Em]

[C]It's only the frame [D]
[C]That holds me together [B]
Or[C] else I would be falling [D]apart [Em]

[G]If I were a painting [D]
[C]I wouldn't fear [B]
And you would[C]n't be breaking my heart [D] [Em]

Enjoy :) kjs
