    When [Bm]I go out with [E]artists,
      If I were David  Byrne,

         [F#m]they talk about the language and the
         I'd go to galleries and

         [D]cubists and the [A]dadaists and I
         not be too con  cerned.  Well, I would

         [Bm]try to catch their [E]meanings
         have a cup of      coffee

         [D]and keep up with    [E]all of their mar  [A]tinis.
         and I'd find my sur roundings quite a musing.  And

         [E]I don't know which  [A]should be my favorite  [D]paintings.  [F#m]       [E]
         people would ask me which were my favorite paintings.

         [C#m]What if the [A]artists ran the [B]TV?

      The [C#m]artists of the [F#]future
          [Abm]will make up new things and

          [C#m]stand amongst their [F#]pictures
          [E]and they'll sing and
          [F#]laugh and quote from [B]scriptures.  And
          [F#]when they go home,
          [B]They'll dream of brilliant [E]paintings.  [Abm]       [F#]
