[Intro] 
E

[Verse 1]
E
If I could paint
E
I'd paint a portrait of you
A                                 B
The sunlight in your eyes a masterpiece of truth
E                        C#m
And a single tear like a silent prayer
       A                               D
That's shining so much brighter than a diamond ever dared
C#m                       A                  E
If I could do anything at all, I'd do it for you

[Verse 2]
E
If I could write
E
I'd write a book for you
A                                  B
A tale of hidden treasures with an I. O. You
E                            C#m
And a million words wouldn't say a thing
     A                                                   
That won't be said in three words
      D
Where love's the central theme
C#m                       A                  E
If I could do anything at all, I'd do it for you

[Chorus]
E
Darling can't you see
E
What you mean to me
A                           B       
Anything that I can do I'll do it for you
E
And darling don't you know
C#m
Just how far I'd go
A                       B
Anything that I can do, I'd do it for you

[Bridge]
C#m         A
Sometimes I feel so second-rate
C#m                     F#
Seems loving you was my greatest mistake
A
I know I'm insecure
A
And love don't keep score
      B
But I wish I could give you more

[Verse 3]
E
If I could play
E
I'd play up a storm for you
A                                B
A raging sea of passion that you never knew
E                           C#m                              
Every whispered sound would touch your heart
A                              D
And maybe for a moment I could be your favourite star
C#m                       A
If I could do anything at all
C#m                      F#
If I could, I'd give you more
C#m           G#m         A                             E
If I could do anything at all....pause….. I'd do it for you

[Chorus]
E
Darling can't you see
E
What you mean to me
A                           B       
Anything that I can do I'll do it for you
E
And darling don't you know
C#m
Just how far I'd go
A                       B  
Anything that I can do, I'd do it for you

[End Chorus]
E
And darling can't you see
E
You mean the world to me
A                           B
Anything that I can do I'll do it for you
E
And darling don't you know
C#m
Just how far I'd go
A                      B           B              E
Anything that I can do I'll do it, I'll do it for you
