CHORD SHEET BY ANTHONY JOHNSON
These chords are played by picking the 4th and 1st string at the same time
then the 2nd 3rd 1st 2nd 3rd 1st strings. On E7 the 5th and 1st are played together.
As you play the last "A" all strings are strummed top to bottom slowly
This is my best interpretation of this song.

If a picture paints a thousand words, Then why can't I paint you,
Dadd9m A Dm6 E7
003230 002220 000201 020100
The words will never show, The you I've come to know,
A C#m A7 Dadd9
If a face could launch a thousand ships, Then where am I to go,
Dadd9m A Dm6 E7
There's no one home but you, You're all thats left me too,
F#m c#aug5 c#maug5 D6
04222 003224 002225 000202
And when my love for life is running dry,
C#m F#7 Bmi E7
002120 004320 004432 020100
You come and pour yourself on me.
Verse:2
A C#m A7 Dadd9
If a man could be two places at one time, I'd be with you,
Dadd9m A Dm6 E7
Tomorrow and today, Beside you all the way.
A C#m A7 Dadd9
If the world should stop revolving, Spinning slowly down to die,
Dadd9m A Dm6 E7
I'd spend the end with you, And when the world was through,
F#m c#aug5 c#maug5 D6
Then one by one, the stars would all go out,
C#m F#7 Bmi E7 A(strummed slowly)
Then you and I, would s imply fly away.
