Only The Artist

C                D
Montague and Capulet
    G               Em
Already sets the scene
 C                      D
I knew you were a foolish bet
              G                  C
But it was better to beg than bleed
  C                      D
From the very first night we met
   G                          Em
You made me love you and I never 
should have left you
  C             D
Romeo and Juliet
  G                        C
Nothing but a writer's dream


[Chorus]
Am                Em
I remember the time when you told me
          G                C
"Baby, love is a work of art"
 Am                        D
I saw you scanning the corners of 
the canvas
                 G              C
Just like you didn't know where to
start
  D                      G
I can't imagine the portrait you 
were painting
           Em                C
When you saw me looking so alone, oh
 no
   Am                         D
That's something only the artist 
could know

Oo-oo-oo, oo-oo-oo-oo-oo

[Verse 2]
  C                    D
By the coast when I held your hand
  G                     Em
Feels like a distant dream
  C                 D
I knew I was a foolish man
               G              C
But I was caught up in a fantasy
  C                          D
You held my face and you gently 
kissed
Continues after the ad
   G                         Em
But all it told me was how much 
you'd miss me
  C         D
Romeo and Juliet
 G                         C
Always bound to call a scene


[Chorus]
 Am              D
I remember the time when you told me
          G                C
"Baby, love is a work of art"
 Am                       D
I saw you scanning the corners of 
the canvas
                 G              C
Just like you didn't know where to 
start
 D                     G
I can't imagine the portrait you 
were painting
           Em                  C
When you saw me looking so alone, oh
 no
   Am                         D
That's something only the artist 
could know

[Chorus]
 Am               D
I remember the time when you told me
          G                C
"Baby, love is a work of art"
Am                         D
I saw you scanning the corners of 
the canvas
                 G               C
Just like you didn't know where to

I can't imagine the portrait you 
were painting
            Em                 C
When you saw me looking so alone, oh

  Am                           D
That's something only the artist
