[Intro]
E
[Verse 1]
EIf I could paint
EI'd paint a portrait of you
AThe sunlight in your eyes a masterBpiece of truth
EAnd a single tear like a C#msilent prayer
That's Ashining so much brighter than a D7sus2diamond ever dared
C#mIf I could do anything at Aall, I'd do it for Eyou
[Verse 2]
EIf I could write
EI'd write a book for you
AA tale of hidden treasures with an BI. O. You
EAnd a million words wouldn't C#msay a thing
That Awon't be said in three words
Where D7sus2love's the central theme
C#mIf I could do anything at Aall, I'd do it for Eyou
[Chorus]
EDarling, can't you see
EWhat you mean to me
AAnything that I can do I'll Bdo it for you
EAnd darling, don't you know
C#mJust how far I'd go
AAnything that I can do, BI'd do it for G#/B#you
[Bridge]
C#mSometimes I G#/B#feel so second-rate
E/BSeems loving you was my Bbm7b5greatest mistake
AI know I'm insecure
AAnd love don't keep score
But I Bwish I could give you more
[Verse 3]
EIf I could play
EI'd play up a storm for you
AA raging sea of passion that you Bnever knew
EEvery whispered sound would C#mtouch your heart
AAnd maybe for a moment I could D7sus2be your favourite star
C#mIf I could do anything at Aall
C#mIf I could, I'd give you F#more
If E/BI could do G#/B#anything at C#mall... ApauseAm….. I'd do it for Eyou
[Chorus]
EDarling, can't you see
EWhat you mean to me
AAnything that I can do I'll Bdo it for you
EAnd darling, don't you know
C#mJust how far I'd go
AAnything that I can do, BI'd do it for you
