[Intro]
 
A - AM7 - A7 - D - Dm - A - Dm6 - E7
 
 
[Verse 1]
 
     A                 AM7
If a picture paints a thousand words,
     A7                D
Then why can't I paint you,
    Dm               A
The words will never show,
    Dm6              E7
The you I've come to know,
     A                    AM7
If a face could launch a thousand ships,
     A7             D
Then where am I to go,
        Dm              A
There's no one home but you,
        Dm6                E7
You're all that's left me too,
 
 
[Chorus]
 
    F#m      F#mmaj7/E#  F#m7/E           D6
And when my love for     life is running dry,
    Em        F#7     Bm7     E7
You come and pour yourself on me.
 
 
[Verse 2]
 
     A                 AM7
If a man could be two places at one
 A7               D
time, I'd be with you,
  Dm           A
Tomorrow and today,
  Dm6              E7
Beside you all the way.
       A                   AM7
If the world should stop revolving,
         A7             D
Spinning slowly down to die,
    Dm                  A
I'd spend the end with you,
     Dm6                E7
And when the world was through,
 
 
[Chorus]
 
     F#m    F#mmaj7/E# F#m7/E              D6
Then one by one,   the stars would all go out,
     Em      F#7      Bm7    E7
Then you and I, would simply fly a-
A   D - Dm6 - A
way //

Not very accurate. Have a look at the other versions; in particular the second chord of the song should be Amaj7
