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