Drop Of Paint

E                                    B
Had my canvas primed in white, some water by my bed,
           A                                      E
A wooden palette smeared with reds and grays and blues,
                                             B
Dipped my brush into the paint, traced the outline of your face,
         A                               E
Then I washed it clean for color number two.

            A                        B
There's a little drop of paint in a mason jar of water,
                                       C#m
That turned every last ounce a crimson hue,
     A                                 B
And it's the same with you, you had a minute with my heart,
                                E
Now you color everything that I do.

Stew pot's on the boil, house was filled with steam,
Continues after the ad
  A                                   E
Bowls and spoons in twos like Noah's ark,
                           B
Dash of salt and spice to make it like you like,
  A                                E
Bring it to my lips and there you are.

            A                        B
There's a little pinch of salt in a ladle full of comfort,
                                 C#m
That opens all the flavors into bloom,
     A                                 B
And it's the same with you, you had a minute with my heart,
                                    E
And now you color everything that I do.

A flower turns its face to the sun,
 B                            E
Snow melting makes the river run,
 A                           G#
Tide rises high to meet the moon, meet the moon.

There's an echo in my ear sounding like your voice,
                               C#m
A feeling that fills any empty room,
           A                           B
You had a minute with my heart and I live it every day,
                                                    C#m
'Cause when you brushed against my heart it soaked through,
     A                           F#
And now my whole world is tinted with you,
            A         B           E
Yeah, you color everything that I do.
