[N] Tell me how you wanna be [Bm] portrayed now
You can have it all, you know
That you can have it all
And I [A] love you, yeah I love [G] you
[D]
Donatello, Frida, Carlo, Hovind
[B] You can have it all, you know
[G] That you can [F#m] have it all
And I love [A] you, yeah [D] I love [G] [D] you
[B] But paint me a picture
Or draw yourself drawn
A piece [D] of paper with pencil
Cause you can't afford to misrepresent [E] me
I want an imitation of [A]
reality
Got [B] the oil paints and other things
Said you know [D] my good, you might tell me what colors
So you think that you know my [E] good nature
The establishment's good [A] nature
[G] I'm the aristocracy, now listen to me
Get your [D] all-starring dolls
And say it with me, I want it to [B] see
In a [Em] hundred years, you'll see me now
So [D] don't hesitate
Hey, my portrait
[A]
[D] Don't paint [B] me now
You didn't wanna [D] know
You didn't wanna [E] see
You threw it in a fire
[B] [Bm] And then you took [D] my eyes
So I can never [Em] be
The painter of before
And then I [G] go
King of [Bm] late 1800's
