Chords for Billy Bragg "Must i Paint You a Picture?" live on 'Sunday' 1989

[C] _ _ _ _ _ _ [Em] _ _
[Am] _ _ _ _ [C] _ _ _
It's bad [Em] timing and [F] we will [G] find a lot of things out this [C] way
And _ [Em] there's you, _ [F] to a black cloud in [G] a dress
[F] The [G] _ [C] _ _ _
[Em] temptation _ to [Am] take the precious things [F] we have apart
[G] To see how they work [C] must _ [G] be [C] resisted
[Em] For they never fit [Am] together [G] again
[F] _ _ If [G] this is right, let it [Am] fall on me [F] and surround [G] me
If these are tears, let [Am] them [F] fall
_ [G] Must _ _ _ I paint you a picture? _
[Am] _ _ [G] About the way that I _ [Am] feel?
You [G] know my [C] love for [F] you is [C] real
[G] _ You know my love for [F] you is [C] real
[G] _ _ _ _ [C] _ _ _ _
[Em] Took a short walk [F] and a talk
To [G] change the rules of [C] engagement _
While [Em] you searched mantically [F] for reverse
And [G] _ _ [F] _ _ [G] _ [C] _ _
[Em] then came in [Am] that virtue
[F] Never tested in [C] no virtue [G] at all
[C] And _ [Em] so I lost my [Am] ignorance _ _
_ [F] _ _ _ _ [G] And now the bells across [Am] the river chime [F] at your [G] name
I look across to [A] them _ [F] again
[G] _ Must _ [D] _ [Gm] I [C] paint you a picture?
[Em] _
[Am] _ _ [G] About the [C] way that I [Em] feel?
[Am] _ [G] You know my [C] love [F] for you is [C] strong
[G] You know my love [F] for you is [C] real
[G] _ All _ _ _ [Em] _ _
your friends say, [C] dumbed down, you'd never fly
And on that [F] imperfect day
We [Em] threw it all _ [G] away
_ _ [Em] _ Crisis _ after crisis _ [Am] _ Such _ intensity
_ _ [F] _ _
This would never happen if [Em] we lived by the [G] sea
_ Most [C] _ _ _
_ [Em] important decisions [F] in life
Are [G] made between two people in [C] bed
I [Em] found that out at my [F] expense
When [G] _ _ [F] _ _ [G] _ [C] _ _
[Em] I see you, you [Am] just turn [F] around and walk [G] away
Like we never [C] met _ _
_ [Em] How we used to be [Am] so bright
_ [F] _ I _ [G] _ dreamt the world [A] should unturn [F] in as we climbed [G] the hill
I dreamt impossible [Am] dreams and [F] we were lovers [G] still _
_ _ Must I paint you a picture?
_ [Am] _ [G] About the way [C] that I [G] feel?
_ [Am] _ [G] You know my [C] love for [F] you is [C]
strong
[G] You know my love for [F] you [C] is [G] real
_ Must I paint you a picture?
_ [Am] _ _ _ [G] _ [C] _ _ [Em] _
_ [Am] _ [G] _ _ _ [C] _ [F] _ _
[C] _ [G] _ My love is strong, [F] girl
[C] _
_ [G] _ _ Must I paint you a [Em] picture?
_ [Am] _ _ _ _ [G] _ _ _
_ [Am] _ _ _ _ _ [F] _ [C] _
_ [G] _ _ _ _ [C] _ [F] _ _
[G] _ _ [C] _ _ _ _ _ _
