[Verse 1]

I wish I was Picasso
A Bm D
so I could paint a portrait of you
G A
And the world would see you as I do
G D
With your pretty smile
Bm G
Brown brown eyes
D F#m Bm A G
Just like Mona Lisa in the Louvre
[Interlude]
G G A A x2
+ intro melody

If I was the ocean
A Bm D
I would cover every part of you
G A
When you dive into me
G D
With your so soft skin
Bm G
Black black hair
D F#m Bm A G
I'm the wave that's gonna take you to my sea
[Interlude 2]
G G A A x2
+ intro melody
[Verse 3]
D G
If I was in St. Louis
A Bm D
I would stand under the arc
G A
Of the great wide Mississippi
G D
Watching that river flow
Bm G
To the gulf of Mexico
D F#m Bm A
That's how strong I long for
D F#m Bm A
That's how strong I long for
D F#m Bm A
That's how strong I long for

You to be next to me
