[E] [B] [Abm] [Gb]

[E]Obsession[B] it takes c[Abm]ontrol,[Gb]

[E] [B]Obsession it eats me [Abm]whole, [Gb]

[Abm]I can't say the [Gb]words out [B]loud,

[Abm]So in a rhyme I [Gb]wrote you [B]down,

[E]Now you'll live through the [Gb] [B]ages,

I can f[E]eel your pulse in the p[Gb]age[B]s.

 

[E] [B]Whoa, [Gb]whoa-oa

 

I have [E]written you [B]down,

Now [Abm]you will live [Gb]forever,

And [E]all the world will [B]read you,

And [Abm]you will live [Gb]forever,

In [E]eyes not yet [Abm]created,

On [E]tongues that are not [B]born,

I have [E]written you [B]down,

Now [Abm]you will live [Gb]forever.

 

[E] [B] [Abm] [Gb]

[E]Your body l[B]ies upon the sh[Abm]eets,[Gb]

[E]Of paper[B] and words s[Abm]o sweet,[Gb]

[Abm]I can't [Gb]say the [B]words,

[Abm]So I wrote you [Gb]into my [B]Verse,

[E]Now you'll live through the [Gb] [B]ages,

I can f[E]eel your pulse in the p[Gb]age[B]s.

 

[E] [B]Whoa, [Gb]whoa-oa

 

I have [E]written you [B]down,

Now [Abm]you will live [Gb]forever,

And [E]all the world will [B]read you,

And [Abm]you will live [Gb]forever,

In [E]eyes not yet [Abm]created,

On [E]tongues that are not [B]born,

I have [E]written you [B]down,

Now [Abm]you will live [Gb]forever.

 

[E]I have read her with these eyes,

I've [Abm]read her with these eyes,

I have [B]held her in these [Gb]hands.

 

I have [E]written you [B]down,

Now [Abm]you will live [Gb]forever,

The [E]virtues in the [B]Verse,

And [Abm]you will live [Gb]forever,

 

I have [E]written you [B]down,

Now [Abm]you will live [Gb]forever,

And [E]all the world will [B]read you,

And [Abm]you will live [Gb]forever,

In [E]eyes not yet [Abm]created,

On [E]tongues that are not [B]born,

I have [E]written you [B]down,

Now [Abm]you will live [Gb]forever.

 

[E] [B]

[Abm]You will live [Gb]forever
