Version 1Must I Paint You a Picture (Billy Bragg) [Intro] C - Em - Am C Em F It's bad timing and me G C We find a lot of things out this way Em And there's you F G A little black cloud in a dress C Em The temptation Am F To take the precious things we have a part C G C To see how they work Em Am F Must be resisted for they never fit together again G Am If this is rain let it fall on me and drown me G Am G If these are tears let them fall C Em Am Must I paint you a picture C Em Am About the way that I feel F Am G You know that my love for you is strong girl F Am G You know that my love for you is real C Em F It took a short walk and a talk G C To change the rules of engagement Em F G While you searched frantically for reverse C Em And then claiming Am F C G That virtue never tested is no virtue at all C Em Am And so I lost my ignorance F G Am F And now the bells across the river chime out your name G Am F G I look across to them again C Em Am Must I paint you a picture C Em Am About the way that I feel F Am G You know that my love for you is strong girl F Am G You know that my love for you is real Em C All your friends sais come down C7 It will never fly F And on that perfect day Em G We threw it all away Em Am Crisis after crisis, with such intensity F Em G This would never happen if we lived by the sea C Em F Most important decisions in life G C Are made between two people in bed G F G I found that at my own expense C Em And when I see you Am F C G C You juts turn around and walk away like we never met G Am F Oh we used to be so brave G Am G I dreamt the wolrd stopped turning as we climbed the hill Am G I dreamt impossible dreams that we were lovers still (chorus) C Em Am Must I paint you a picture C Em Am About the way that I feel F Am G You know that my love for you is strong girl F Am G You know that my love for you is real ------------------------ Francois Rousseau ------------------------
