[Verse 1]
             G                        C
A still-life portrait, a view from my window
              G                      C
Touched by an innocence, now fading away
       Em                              Bm
Into a quiet storm of the tears of the angels
         Am                           G
Falling around me as I'm watching the days


[Chorus]
D                  G                        D
I frame colours of passion against a fading sky
                 G   Am                Bm       C
With a stroke of love on the canvas of my soul
               G                  D                G       D
I'm painting a perfect world with shades of Michaelangelo
               G   Am                   Bm     C
It's a promise made to every heart that knows
                 G                D                G
We can live in a perfect world in shades of Michaelangelo


[Verse 2]
                           C
A seed of hope grows in my garden
           G                C
I feel the earth beneath my feet
                Em                      Bm
Running through my mind are dreams of a future
             Am                       G
Where all of this world works in harmony


[Chorus]
    D                  G                        D
But I frame colours of passion against a fading sky
                 G   Am                Bm       C
With a stroke of love on the canvas of my soul
               G                  D                G       D
I'm painting a perfect world with shades of Michaelangelo
               G   Am                   Bm     C
It's a promise made to every heart that knows
                 G                D                G
We can live in a perfect world in shades of Michaelangelo


[Bridge]
F                         G
I hear songs of children, echo in the sky
Am                            G
I hear songs of children, a tomorrow so bright


[Instrumental]
C  G  Am  C    G  Am   D


[Chorus]
                 G   Am                Bm       C
With a stroke of love on the canvas of my soul
               G                  D                G       D
I'm painting a perfect world with shades of Michaelangelo
               G   Am                   Bm     C
It's a promise made to every heart that knows
                 G                D                G
We can live in a perfect world in shades of Michaelangelo
D                G
Shades of Michaelangelo

Shades of Michaelangelo
