 Here is what I have figured out so far, wrong or right, this is how I
 play it.

CAPO 1st Fret

INRTO:
piano arranged for guitar.  Someday I'll put the dobro in too.

  A                      F#m                Dmaj7

Verse:

A
Moonlight on canvas, midnight and wine

F#m                D                E
Two shadows starting to softly combine

    A
The picture they're painting is one of the heart

       F#m                           E
And to those who have seen it it's a true work of art

Chorus:
        A            E         F#m
Oh, the red strokes passions uncaged

D                     E
Thundering moments of tenderness rage

        A            E           F#m
Oh, the red strokes tempered and strong (3nd time fearlessly drawn)

                E          Dsus2
Burning the night like the dawn

Verse:
Steam on the window, salt in a kiss
Two hearts have never pounded like this
Inspired by a vision that they can't command
Erasing the borders with each brush of a hand

Chorus:

Bridge:
        F#m           E            D          C#m
Oh, the blues will be blue and the jealouslies green

         F#m             E          E                Esus
But when love picks it's shade it demands to be seen

Steam on the window, salt in a kiss
Two hearts have never pounded like this
