Obsession it takes control,
CGEmD/F#
Obsession it eats me whole,
EmD/F#G
I can't say the words out loud,
EmD/F#G
So in a rhyme I wrote you down,
CDG
Now you'll live through the ages,
CDG
I can feel your pulse in the pages.
CGD/F#
Whoa, whoa-oa
CG
I have written you down,
EmD
Now you will live forever,
CG
And all the world will read you,
EmD
And you will live forever,
CEm
In eyes not yet created,
CG
On tongues that are not born,
CG
I have written you down,
EmD
Now you will live forever.
Whistling:
CGEmD/F#CGEmD/F#
Your body lies upon the sheets,
CGEmD/F#
Of paper and words so sweet,
EmD/F#G
I can't say the words,
EmD/F#G
So I wrote you into my verse,
CDG
Now you'll live through the ages,
CDG
I can feel your pulse in the pages.
CGD/F#
Whoa, whoa-oa
CG
I have written you down,
EmD
Now you will live forever,
CG
And all the world will read you,
EmD
And you will live forever,
CEm
In eyes not yet created,
CG
On tongues that are not born,
CG
I have written you down,
EmD
Now you will live forever.

I have read her with these eyes,
Em
I've read her with these eyes,
GD/F#
I have held her in these hands.
CG
I have written you down,
EmD
Now you will live forever,
CG
The virtues in the verse,
EmD
And you will live forever,
CG
I have written you down,
EmD
Now you will live forever,
CG
And all the world will read you,
EmD
And you will live forever,
CEm
In eyes not yet created,
CG
On tongues that are not born,
CG
I have written you down,
EmD
Now you will live forever.
