 If a picture paints a thousand words, Then why can't I paint you,
 
003230 002220 000201 020100
 The words will never show, The you I've come to know,
 If a face  could launch a thousand  ships, Then where  am I to go,
 There's no  one home but you,  You're all  thats left me too,
   caug5 c#maug5 [D6]
04222 003224 002225 000202
 And when my love for life is running dry,
 
002120 004320 004432 020100
 You come and pour yourself on me.

 If a man  could be two places  at one time,  I'd be with you,
 Tomorrow  and today,  Beside  you all the way.
 If the world  should stop revolving,  Spinning slowly  down to die,
 I'd spend  the end with you,  And when  the world was through,
   caug5 c#maug5 [D6]
 Then one by one, the stars would all go out,
 Then you  and I,  would s  imply fly  away.
