You Call Yourself A Writer

INTRO: D  G  A   (2x)

    D                           G
You told me yourself you were a writer
                                        A
You followed every line and theme right through
        D                     G
I never suspected I was a one-nighter
          A
But there was this line, I'm gonna keep it for you


CHORUS:
                  D
'Cause you let it go
                                 G
You let that line go, you let it go
                        A
And you call yourself a writer
           D
You let it go
                                 G
You let that line go, you let it go
                      A
I'm gonna keep it for you


D                                   G
Oh, some people think you're quite amazing
                                    A
They heard you do your songs on radio
             D                             G
But somewhere in that sweet there's bitter tasting
            A
'Cause down deep inside, you know that somebody knows


CHORUS:
           D
You let it go
                                 G
You let that line go, you let it go
                        A
And you call yourself a writer
           D
You let it go
                                 G
You let that line go, you let it go
                      A
I'm gonna keep it for you


          D
I'm gonna play it out loud

I'm gonna do it one more time
          G
I'm gonna do it my show
           A
I want the world to know


       D
Oh, it just takes one night to make a reputation
       G                     A
Oh, it just takes one lie to break a heart
       D
And it just takes one line to make a song sing
               G
But you let me go
           D
I want the world to know, you let it go


INSTRUMENTAL: G   A D   G   A


    D                                      G
So, let me pose this question while you're posing
                                 A
Let me wonder why, that's what I do
         D                               G
I saw you open your eyes while mine were closing
        A
Did you take it all down from your point of view


CHORUS:
                  D
Or did you let it go
                                 G
You let that line go, you let it go
                        A
And you call yourself a writer
           D
You let it go
                                 G
You let that line go, you let it go
                      A
I'm gonna keep it for you


          D
I'm gonna play it out loud

I'm gonna do it one more time
          G                A
I'm gonna do it my show

I want the world to know


        D
That it just takes one night to make a reputation
   G                     A
It just takes one lie to break a heart
       D
And it just takes one line to make a song sing
           G
You let me go
               D
And I want the world to know, you let it go
