To be straight with the recording:

Everything below receives an improvised repeat after a long jazzy piano solo.

Intro

| [D] | [D] | [Bm7] | [Bm7] |

Verse 1

[D] [A]

We are like children, we're painted on canvases.

[Bm] [Bm7]

Picking up shades, as we go.

[D]

We start off with gesso.

[D]

Brushed on, by people we know.

[Bm]

Watch your technique, as you go.

Chorus

[Am7] [Gmaj7/D]

Step back and admire my view.

[Gmaj7] [Em7]

Can I use the colors I choose?

[Em] [Gmaj7/A]

Do I have some say, what you use?

[Gmaj7] [C7] [C]

Can I get some greens and some blues?

Verse 2

[D] [A]

We're made by the pigment of paint, that is put upon.

[Bm7]

Our stories, are told by our hues.

[D]

Like Motley and Bearden;

[D]

These masters, of peace and light.

[Bm] [B] [Bm]

Layers of color and time.

Chorus

[Am7] [Gmaj7/D]

Step back and admire my view.

[Gmaj7] [Em7]

Can I use the colors I choose?

[Em] [Gmaj7/A]

Do I have some say, what you use?

[Bm] [F#] [D]

Can I get some green with my blue?

Outro

[D] [Bm7]

We're just like children, we're painted on canvases.
