[Intro]
Amaj7
[Verse]
A
Can we pretend
That from now on
Dm7                 Amaj7
There is no yesterday
A
Paint a portrait of tomorrow
Dm                     A
With no colors from today
[Chorus]
Dm                                          A
There's a light that shine in your face sometimes
Dm7                   Dm                      A
That takes my feeling wraps them around your need
Dm7                G7                       A     Amaj7
But there's shadow hiding in your heart sometimes
Dm7                                   Amaj7
That makes my feelings turn back in on me
[Verse]
Amaj7
Can we pretend
The pain is gone
Dm              A
And go our merry way
Paint a portrait of tomorrow
D                          A
With the colors bright and gay
[Chorus]
        Dm7               Dm               Amaj7    A
There's a light that shine in your face sometimes
       Dm7            G             A           Amaj7
That takes my feeling wraps them around your need
A                       Amaj7   A             D
But there's shadow hiding in your heart sometimes
      Dm                                A
That makes my feelings turn back in on me
