If I Were An Artist

(início)

*NOTE: I tabbed this song just by listening to it and watching him play it live. Jake
plays around with picking a lot of his chords in this song.
Listen to the song to get the right strumming pattern and timing.
Enjoy.

And I could paint you red
Like the passion you feel
It might not be colorful
But at least it'd be real
And I could paint you green
Like the envy you know
You're all alone and I
With nowhere to go
And I could paint you grey
To show how you're empty
To show how you don't care
So the world can all see

And I could paint you clear
I'd make you graceful
I'd make you beautiful
Cause that's what you are

And I could paint you taupe
Cause they say that it's soothing
But you're like a drug to me
That could use some abusing
And I could paint you gold
To show you're a mourner
Would that make you honest
Would it make you sincere

And I could paint you clear
I'd make you graceful
I'd make you beautiful
Cause that's what you are

Ohh scarlet and clover, all the things we talked about
Violet and green and the world in between
The grey skies, your blue eyes, broken, I'm drowning you know

And I could paint you clear
I'd make you graceful
I'd make you beautiful
Cause that's what you are

And I could be clear
Yeah you could see through me
But I could be beautiful
Just to be yours, just to be..

I could paint you clear
I'd make you graceful
I'd make you beautiful
Cause that's what you are

And I could be clear
I could be graceful
I swear I'd be colorful
Just to be yours

If I were an artist
Then I could be yours
