Intro: Dm7, F2, Gsus
[Dm7]Look what I've done, this picture[F2] I've painted,
[Gsus]It looks like my heart or what still remains
[Dm7]Convinced of the wieght your interpretatio[F2]ns are not what I see[Gsus]
I wish they could be, but...
[Dm7]I rem[F]ember it was much r[G]edder, and...
[Dm7]I reme[F]mber it was much br[G]ighter
[E]Can [F#m7]you st[G]ay for a whi[A]le?
[Asus]Try to imagine this
[E]Could [F#m7]you be[G] for a whi[Asus]le?
I can't remember it Could you [E]fall fo[F#m7]r a whi[G]le, 'cau[Asus]se I can't escape from
this
[Dm7]Try to explain the way t[F2]he fame doesn't quite fit [G]the image
Or surrounded the edge It stands on disp[Dm7]lay
[F2]What do you see?
[Gsus]Behold all the new gray.
What's become of the old me?
[Dm7]'Cause I r[F]emember it much redd[G]er and...
[Dm7]I remember[F] it much brighter[G]
[E]Can y[F#m7]ou sta[G]y for a wh[A]ile
Try to imagine this could you[E] be f[F#m7]or a w[G]hile?[A]
'Cause I can't remember it?
[E]Cou[F#m7]ld you f[G]all for a w[C]hile, 'cause I can[A]'t escape from this?
[E]Can[F#m7] you sta[G]y for a while?
[Fmaj7]Calling, c[Am7]rying asha[Fmaj7]med of wh[Am7]at I am not really[Fmaj7] falling, fall[Am7]ing...
[Fmaj7]Into this cage, and I ca[Am7]n't escape
[C2]No, I c[Dm7]an't escape, No I can't
[Dm7] [F] [G]
[Dm7]So look what I've done
[F2]Picture I've painted doesn'[Gsus]t quite fit or surround the edge
[Dm7]But I re[F]member it much [G]redder
[C/G] [E] [F#m7] [G] [Gmaj7] [A]
Try to imagine this, Could you [E]be for[F#m7] a whi[G]le?[Asus]
'Cause I can't remember it
[E]Cou[F#m7]ld you[G] fall for[Asus] a while
And I can't escape from this
[E]Can[F#m7] you st[G]ay for a whi[C2]le? I can't[A] escape...
[E]Cou[F#m7]ld you b[G]e for a wh[Fmaj7]ile, for [Am7]a whi[C2]le, for[Dm7] a while
I can't, I can't
Fmaj7, Am, Fmaj7
