Am

[Verse 1]

Am                                                 Fmaj7
I could paint a picture of my heart, hanging on a wall

and watch the colors fade away 
C                                                G
tell the world that we have been a lie all this time we've spent
Am                                                     Fmaj7
I could tell myself that I have done all that I could do

if that would take the pain away
C                                           G
tell the world we lost it, baby I, I'm not done here yet

[Chorus 1]
E|------|---
Am
I know that people think our love is like a fantasy
Fmaj7                                                   C
I know that no one seems to understand what I see when I
                        G
I see with my father's eyes
                       Am
I see with my father's eyes

[Verse 1]
E|------|--
Am                                                 Fmaj7
You were like a fire and I've tried, risking all I am

to let you go and kill the pain
C                                           G
oh, my heart can burn so many times, I am proof of that
         Am                                                Fmaj7
ooh, and I could paint a picture of my heart, hanging on a wall

and I would never walk away
C                                               G
I would stand there asking myself why I'm not broken yet, oooooh

[Chorus 2]

Am
I know that people think our love is like a fantasy
Fmaj7                                                  C
I know that no one seems to understand what I see when I
                        G                           Am
I see with my father's eyes, I see with my father's eyes
                                                   Fmaj7
I know that everybody says you've not been good to me
                                                        C
they just don't realize I'm nothing if I set you free, oooh
                        G                           Am            Fmaj7
I see with my father's eyes, I see with my father's eeeeeeyes, uuuuuuh
       C                              G                             Am
oh gooooood, I see it in my father's eyes, I see it in my father's eyes
