5*-5  6    6    6    6   6   -5   5* 
If a pic-ture paints a thou-sand words,
 -5   6   6   -5   5*  -3
Then why can't I paint you? 
-3    -5   -5   5* -3   2 
The words will nev-er show 
 2  -2   -2   -3  6   -4
the you I've come to know.

5*-5   6    6      6   6   6   -5    5*
If a face could launch a thou-sand ships,
 -5    6   6 -5 5* -3
Then where am I to go? 
  -3    -5 -5   5*  -3   2
There's no one home but you,
  2    -2    -2    -3  6  -4
You're all that's left me to.

-3   5*  -6* 7*  -7   5*  5* -4  -3-4 -4
And when my love for life is run-ning dry,
-6*  6   -4  -3*    6   -5  -3 3*
You come and pour your-self on me.

5*-5  6    6   6   6   6   -5 5* -5   6
If a man could be two plac-es at one time,
 6  -5  5*  -3
I'd be with you.
-3 -5  -5   5* -3  2
To-mor-row and to-day, 
2   -2  -2  -3   6  -4
Be-side you all the way.

5* -5    6      6     6  6   6   -5
If the world should stop re-volv-ing 
 5*   -5    6  6   -5  5* -3
Spin-ning slow-ly down to die,
-3   -5   -5   5*  -3   2
I'd spend the end with you.
 2   -2  -2    -3   6     -4
And when the world was through,
 -3   5* -6* 7* -7    5*    5*  -4  -3-4-4
Then one by one the stars would all go out,
 -6*  6  -4 -3*  6   -5   6  -6* 7* -7
Then you and I would sim-ply fly a-way
