Picasso And Me

CAPO: 2

Intro: C 


Picasso's in the kitchen stirring up a stew 
                                                      F 
He pours himself a bowl and then he fixes me one too 

And we sit out on the terrace and the birds fly through the trees 
       C                                                     G 
And he captures them on canvas and I capture them in dreams 
                                              C 
And we pass a lazy afternoon, as happy as can be 
         Am7                         F 
With the brushes and the turpentine 
      C 
Picasso and me 



He picked me up in Paris, I was scrounging in the streets 
                                                    
He shared his cream for coffee and I curled up at his feet 
    F 
And ever since that moment I've been his confidante 
   C                                                     G 
He says that it's uncanny how I know just what he wants 
                                            C 
But we both like our freedom and quiet company 
       Am7                        F 
In the end we're not so different 
      C

Sometimes he gets angry when they say he's just a fraud 
       F                           C 
And he curses at the canvas and he shakes his fist at god 
    Am7                   C 
Who are these rogues, who are these fools 
    F                   C           G     C 
Who made this game, who made these rules 



The critics criticize him and the women come and go 

They'll never understand him, they don't know what I know 
        F 
They're just too damned demanding, they just won't let him be 
        C                                                     G 
And I'm glad to see them go and then it's back to him and me 
                                    C 
And the lazy summer afternoons, the sunlight through the trees 
    Am7                        F 
The brushes and the turpentine 
          C            G 
And Picasso and me 
           C 
Just Picasso and me
