Intro (whistling)
C G D
Obsession it takes control,
C G D
Obsession it eats me whole,
Em D G
I can't say the words out loud,
Em D C
So in a rhyme I wrote you down,
D G
Now you'll live through the ages,
C D C
I can feel your pulse in the pages.
[Chorus]
G D
Whoa Whoa oa
C G
I have written you down,
Em D
Now you will live forever,
C G
And all the world will read you,
Em D
And you will live forever,
C Em
In eyes not yet created,
C G
On tongues that are not born,
C G
I have written you down,
Em D
Now you will live forever.
[Whistling: Em G Em D]
C G D
Your body lies upon the sheets,
C G D
Of paper and words so sweet,
Em D G
I can't say the words,
Em D G
So I wrote you into my verse,
C D G
Now you'll live through the ages,
C D C
I can feel your pulse in the pages.
[Chorus]
C
I have read her with these eyes,
Em
I've read her with these eyes,
G D
I have held her in these hands.
C G
I have written you down,
Em D
Now you will live forever,
C G
The virtues in the verse,
Em
And you will live forever.
[Chorus]
[Whistling: G D Bm Em]
Bm A G
You will live forever
