Writer In The Dark

D
  Break the news, you're walking out
C
  To be a good man for someone else
D                   C  Cmaj7
  Sorry I was never good like you

D
  Stood on my chest and kept me down
  C
Hated hearing my name on the lips of a crowd
D                     C
  Did my best to exist just for you

[Pre-Refrão 1]
          D                   C
Bet you rue the day you kissed a writer in the dark
          D                   C
Bet you rue the day you kissed a writer in the dark
         D                    C
Now she's gonna play and sing and lock you in her heart
          D          C         G
Bet you rue the day you kissed a writer in the dark

[Estribillo 1]
G                   Am               Em
  I am my mother's child, I'll love you 'til my breathing stops
      Am             Em           D
I'll love you 'til you call the cops on me
G                    Am          Em
  But in our darkest hours, I stumbled on a secret power
      Am         Em          D
I'll find a way to be without you, babe

[Verso 2]
D
  I still feel you, now and then
C
  Slow like pseudoephedrine
D                       C     Cmaj7
  When you see me, will you say I've changed?

D
  I ride the subway, read the signs
  C
I let the seasons change my mind
  G                           D
I love it here since I've stopped needing you

          D                   C
Bet you rue the day you kissed a writer in the dark
          D                   C
Bet you rue the day you kissed a writer in the dark
         D                    C
Now she's gonna play and sing and lock you in her heart
          D          C         G
Bet you rue the day you kissed a writer in the dark
