EB
Had my canvas primed in white, some water by my bed,
AE
A wooden palette smeared with reds and grays and blues,
B
Dipped my brush into the paint, traced the outline of your face,
AE
Then I washed it clean for color number two.
AB
There's a little drop of paint in a mason jar of water,
C#m
That turned every last ounce a crimson hue,
AB
And it's the same with you, you had a minute with my heart,
E
Now you color everything that I do.
EB
Stew pot's on the boil, house was filled with steam,
AE
Bowls and spoons in twos like Noah's ark,
B
Dash of salt and spice to make it like you like,
AE
Bring it to my lips and there you are.
AB
There's a little pinch of salt in a ladle full of comfort,
C#m
That opens all the flavors into bloom,
AB
And it's the same with you, you had a minute with my heart,
E
And now you color everything that I do.
C#mF#
A flower turns its face to the sun,
BE
Snow melting makes the river run,
AG#
Tide rises high to meet the moon, meet the moon.
E A B E (x2)
AB
There's an echo in my ear sounding like your voice,
C#m
A feeling that fills any empty room,
AB
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,
AF#
And now my whole world is tinted with you,
ABE
Yeah, you color everything that I do.
