[Verse 1]
G D/F#
Leaving early to get you there
Cmaj7 D/F# G
Your hold sure can set a man straight
G D/F#
Feeling sorry, I didn’t care
Cmaj7
I’m not one to complicate
[Instrumental]
G Cmaj7
[Verse 2]
G
She spoke in whispers,
D/F#
screamed on the paint
Cmaj7 D/F# G
In the color I saw her heart
D/F#
She says she loves me, I’ve no complaint
Cmaj7 D/F# G
She can have every part
[Chorus]
G D/F# Cmaj7
I would erase my life, and I’d turn to white
G
Dancing in the desert
D/F# Cmaj7
And I’d be that knight at the highest height
G
Oh if I could save you
Am7 D/F# G
But I can’t, I can't
Am7 D/F# G
I can't oh-ooh
[Instrumental]
G Cmaj7
[Verse 3]
G D/F#
That old canvas, thrown on the floor
Cmaj7 D/F# G
What was all that art even for?
G D/F#
I’d sit quietly, you’d move your brush
Cmaj7 D/F# G
I just wanted your love and your touch
[Instrumental]
G Cmaj7
[Chorus]
G D/F# Cmaj7
I would erase my life, and I’d turn to white
G
D/F#ancing in the desert
D/F# Cmaj7
And I’d be that knight at the highest height
G
Oh if I could save you
Am7 D/F# G
I can’t, I can't
Am7 D/F# G
I can't oh-oh
[Instrumental]
Am7 D/F# G
Am7 D/F# (linger on D/F#)
[Verse 3]
G D/F#
Now there’s a shadow, on her skin
Cmaj7 D/F# G
And the lines show where she’s been
G D/F#
If you can see me, paint me in
Cmaj7 D/F# G
Call me back again
[Instrumental]
G Cmaj7
