Intro:     C      G      Am      F 


Verse: 
C                    F 
Everybody's asking where did you go ? 
                         C 
This was gonna be my masterpiece 
       C                        F 
The paint's not even dry yet, oh no 
                                Am 
I could trace the outline of a shadow 
                   Em 
I need blood and breath 
             G 
To mix my colours 


Chorus: 
               C 
Where did you go 
            G 
After you promised me a portrait 
             Am                F 
Took off your clothes, held a pose 
             C           G 
Drawing your arms, your hands and veins 
                    Am 
And fingers and your lips 
        F 
Broken nose 
        C               G 
On your eyes, so just stare into the distance 
          Am                     F 
Please don't move, whatever you do 
                       C  
While I'm adding the blue 


Verse: 
C                        F 
I know I'm not Monet or Van Gogh 
                              C 
I can't draw like S. Clay Wilson 
     C 
You got inside this brush 
            F 
That drips with red 
                         Am 
I can't draw from memories or photos 
                   Em 
I need blood and breath 
         G 
But you left me nothing 


Chorus: 
               C 
Where did you go 
            G 
After you promised me a portrait 
             Am                F 
Took off your clothes, held a pose 
             C           G 
Drawing your arms, your hands and veins 
                    Am 
And fingers and your lips 
        F 
Broken nose 
        C               G 
On your eyes, so just stare into the distance 
          Am                     F 
Please don't move, whatever you do 
                       C  
While I'm adding the blue 


C      G      Am      F 


Bridge: 
  C 
Closed this chapter yesterday 
 G                                Am 
Take this page and throw it away 
                                  F 
Fill the holes in, sand the wall 

You were never here at all 
     C                               G 
The warmth where someone never stood 
                          Am 
Promises were never good 
                                   F 
The smell of human sweat and tears 

A passing thought, the passing year, baby 


Chorus: 
               C 
Where did you go 
            G 
After you promised me a portrait 
             Am                F 
Took off your clothes, held a pose 
             C           G 
Drawing your arms, your hands and veins 
                    Am 
And fingers and your lips 
        F 
Broken nose 
        C               G 
On your eyes, so just stare into the distance 
          Am                     F 
Please don't move, whatever you do 
                       C  
While I'm adding the blue
