Verse
B C#
Montague and Capulet

Already sets the scene

Nothing but a writer's dream
[Chorus]
G#m D#m
I remember the time when you told me

"Baby, love is a work of art"
G#m C#
I saw you scanning the corners of the canvas
F# B
Just like you didn't know where to
start

I can't imagine the portrait you were painting

When you saw me looking so alone, oh no
G#m C#
That's something only the artist could know

[Verse 2]
B C#
By the coast when I held your hand
F# D#m
Feels like a distant dream
B C#
I knew I was a foolish man

But I was caught up in a fantasy

You held my face and you gently kissed
F# D#m
But all it told me was how much you'd miss me
