Paint My Wings

Kari Rueslatten


Tom: F

      F       
Can I kiss you though I'm leaving?
      F        
Can I show I care?
      F                 C
Can I hold you like the first time,
           Bb              C
though you know I won't be there?

        F        C          Dm
I will paint my wings with beautiful things
      F      C            Dm
and whisper words in the night
        F     C         Dm
I will come around and bring what I found
        F       C           Dm
when I went to look for the sea
        Bb                 C
Nothing withers, it just shivers...

         F               C
Can you find it in your heart
      Bb           C
to one day forgive me?
         F                C
I never meant to cause you sorrow
         Bb                C
I always meant for you to see

        F        C          Dm
I will paint my wings with beautiful things
      F      C            Dm
and whisper words in the night
        F     C         Dm
I will come around and bring what I found
        F       C           Dm
when I went to look for the sea
        Bb                 C            F
Nothing withers, it just shivers in the wind
        Bb                 C            F
Nothing withers, it just shivers in the wind

          Dm              F
But when seasons call your name
     Dm             F
and cover all your grief,
         C                    Am
you will find that you don't think of me
   C            Bb   C
as often as you once did

        F        C          Dm
I will paint my wings with beautiful things
      F      C            Dm
and whisper words in the night
        F     C         Dm
I will come around and bring what I found
        F       C           Dm
when I went to look for the sea
        Bb     C
Nothing withers...
        F        C          Dm
I will paint my wings with beautiful things
      F      C            Dm
and whisper words in the night
        F     C         Dm
I will come around and bring what I found
        F       C           Dm
when I went to look for the sea
        Bb                 C            F
Nothing withers, it just shivers in the wind
        Bb                 C            F
Nothing withers, it just shivers in the wind
