[Intro] (whistling):
C G Em D/F#
C G Em D/F#
Obsession it takes control,
C G Em D/F#
Obsession it eats me whole,
Em D/F# G
I can't say the words out loud,
Em D/F# G
So in a rhyme I wrote you down,
C D G
Now you'll live through the ages,
C D G
I can feel your pulse in the pages.
C G D/F#
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:
C G Em D/F#
C G Em D/F#
Your body lies upon the sheets,
C G Em D/F#
Of paper and words so sweet,
Em D/F# G
I can't say the words,
Em D/F# G
So I wrote you into my verse,
C D G
Now you'll live through the ages,
C D G
I can feel your pulse in the pages.
C G D/F#
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.
C
I have read her with these eyes,
Em
I've read her with these eyes,
G D/F#
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 D
And you will live forever,
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.
[Outro] (whistling):
C G
Em D/F# (G)
You will live forever
