[Verse 1]
D                           A                       
We are like children, we're painted on canvases.
Bm                 Bm7
Picking up shades, as we go.
   D
We start off with gesso.
D
Brushed on, by people we know.
Bm
Watch your technique, as you go.

[Chorus]
Am7       Gmaj7/D
Step back and admire my view.
Gmaj7         Em7
Can I use the colors I choose?
Em        Gmaj7/A
Do I have some say, what you use?
Gmaj7           C7              C
 Can I get some greens and some blues?

[Verse 2]
      D                                          A
We're made by the pigment of paint, that is put upon.
    Bm7
Our stories, are told by our hues.
D
Like Motley and Bearden;
D
These masters, of peace and light.
Bm     B            Bm
Layers of color and time.

[Chorus]
Am7       Gmaj7/D
Step back and admire my view.
Gmaj7         Em7
Can I use the colors I choose?
Em        Gmaj7/A
Do I have some say, what you use?
Bm              F#            D
 Can I get some green with my blue?

[Outro]
D                                             Bm7
We're just like children, we're painted on canvases.
