Intro:  Dm7, F2, G5 

D5                              F5 
Look what I've done, this picture I've painted, 
G5  
It looks like my heart or what still remains 
D5                                       F5                          G5  
Convinced of the wieght your interpretations are not what I see 

I wish they could be, but... 
D5  F5                  G5 
I remember it was much redder, and... 
D5   F5                  G5 
I remember it was much brighter 
E5   F#5  G5           A5 
Can you stay for a while? 
A5 
Try to imagine this 
E5     F#5  G5         A5 
Could you be for a while? 
                              E5      F#5   G5       A5 
I can't remember it Could you fall for a while, 'cause I can't escape from this 


D5                     F5                        G5 
Try to explain the way the fame doesn't quite fit the image 
                                        D5 
Or surrounded the edge It stands on display 
F5 
What do you see? 
G5 
Behold all the new gray. 

What's become of the old me? 


D5       F5                   G5 
'Cause I remember it much redder and... 
D5       F5                G5 
I remember it much brighter 
E5    F#5  G5         A5 
Can you stay for a while 
                             E5    F#5  G5        A5 
Try to imagine this could you be for a while? 

'Cause I can't remember it? 
E5  F#5    G5          C5                 A5      
Could you fall for a while, 'cause I can't escape from this? 
E5  F#5    G5 
Can you stay for a while? 


F5     A5       F5    A5               F5         A5 
Calling, crying ashamed of what I am not really falling, falling... 
F5                   A5 
Into this cage, and I can't escape 
C5     D5 
No, I can't escape, No I can't 


D5 F5  G5 

D5 
So look what I've done 
F5                         G5 
Picture I've painted doesn't quite fit or surround the edge 
D5     F5              G5 
But I remember it much redder 


C5  E5  F#5  G5  G5  A5 

                               E5     F#5  G5              A5 
Try to imagine this, Could you be for a while? 

'Cause I can't remember it 
E5  F#5  G5        A5 
Could you fall for a while 

And I can't escape from this 
E5  F#5   G5           C5          A5 
Can you stay for a while?  I can't escape... 
E5  F#5    G5         F5    A5  C5     D5 
Could you be for a while, for a while, for a while 

I can't, I can't 


F7M, A5 , F5
