Tabbed by:JOHN (CHS RULZ! GO IRISH)
Tuning: Standard
You pluck this song (dont use a pick)
The tab I wrote in version 1 wasn't exactly Right im sorry to say
Hope this one helps, it IS the correct way.
ignore how to pluck the chorus,intro,verse and ending in version 1
ENJOY!!!!!!!!!!!! :-)
NOTE: THIS SONG SOUNDS BEST ON ACOUSTIC guitar
I have also put the finger positions above almost each line to help.

LYRICS
_______
If a picture paints a thousand words,
Then why can't I paint you?
The words will never show the you I've come to know.
If a face could launch a thousand ships,
Then where am I to go?
There's no one home but you,
You're all that's left me too.
And when my love for life is running dry,
You come and pour yourself on me.
If a man could be two places at one time,
I'd be with you.
Tomorrow and today, beside you all the way.
If the world should stop revolving spinning slowly down to die,
I'd spend the end with you.
And when the world was through,
Then one by one the stars would all go out,
Then you and I would simply fly away
