Drop Of Paint


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 Ab 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#/ Ab
