Verse 1
Em 
C 
I kicked around the autumn leaves
and sat under the empty trees
Em 
Am 
Em 
I couldn't find a place,
C 
I have a painting on my wall
I ran across a frozen pond,
into a cabin on the shore
Em 
Am 
Em 
I closed my eyes and pictured,
F#dim 
I have a painting on my wall
B 
F#dim 
You see, there's just
B 
an empty canvas
Em 
here with me
C 
A  heavy fog fell in the night,
I cannot see the other side
Em 
This is just my eyes,
I have a paintbrush in my hand
C 
If I could only get some sleep,
Em 
a different wind might blow on me
Am 
Em 
I see a sheet of white
F#dim 
I have a paintbrush in my hand
B 
F#dim 
You see, there's just
B 
an empty canvas

E 
And just like that the light came back
C#m 
The sun   had made the raindrops
A 
dance around her
E 
A 
E 
I hold her hand, she understands
C#m 
The picture doesn't feel
A 
the same without her
F#m 
E 
B 
I am a lonely painter
C 
I took a walk into the field
Em 
I closed my eyes so I could hear
The sound that nature sings
C 
A beauty in the simplest things
Some days the darkness rules the light
Em 
Some days the colors shine so bright
Am 
Em 
Some days the truth it brings
F#dim 
A beauty in the simplest things
B 
F#dim

You see, it's just     an empty canvas
