If a pic-ture paints a thou-sand words

 -9  -9   9    9 -9   8     7
Then why can't   I   paint you?

 7    9    -9   8  7   6 
The words will ne-ver show 

 6  -6'  -6'  7    9  -8
The you I've come to know

8 -9  9     9     9    9   9   -9    8
If a face could launch a thou-sand ships

 -9    9   9 -9  8  7
Then where am I to go?

  7     -9 -9    8   7   6
There's no one home but you

   6   -6'  -6'     7  9  -8
You're all that's left me too.

 7   8 - 10  10' 10   8   8  -8   7   -8
And when my love for life is run-ning dry

-10  9   -8   -6    9   -9  7  -7
You come and pour your-self on me.

8  -9 9    9   9   9   9  -9  8  -9   9
If a man could be two pla-ces at one time

 9  -9  8    7
I'd be with you.

 7 -9  -9   8   7  6 
To-mor-row and to-day 

 6 -6'  -6' 7    9  -8
Be-side you all the way

8  -9    9      9     9   9   9   -9 
If the world should stop re-volv-ing 

  8  -9      9 9   -9  8   7
Spin-ning slow-ly down to die

 7   -9   -9   8   7    6 
I'd spend the end with you.

 6   -6' -6'   7    9    -8
And when the world was through

 7    8 -10 10' 10    8     8   -8  7  -8   
Then one by one the stars would all go out

-10   9  -8 -6   9    -9  9  -10  10' 10
Then you and I would sim-ply fly  a-way
