C#m      G#m         A
It was a song that I offered
C#m                  G#m          A
But he scrapped that song for the parts
C#m              G#m        A
Because I am the composer's daughter
C#m              G#m            A
And he plays the strings of the heart
C#m          G#m      A
He takes the things I desire
C#m         G#m          A
He took the chords I had claimed
C#m         G#m          A
My dross consumed by the fire
C#m        G#m          A
My song composed by the pain

B       A        B       C#m  B  A
Take my will and make it yours
            B                             C#m      B  A
I'm finding joy in the way that my sorrow moves me
          B                        C#m    B  A
I feel it more in the way my heart aches
           B                 C#m               B  A
I'm comforted even in that I know you know me

                        B              A
And I think this is the composer's way
                        B              A
And I think this is the composer's way

[Verse]
             G#m       A
He takes the things I desire
C#m         G#m          A
He took the chords I had claimed
C#m         G#m          A
My dross consumed by the fire
C#m        G#m          A
My song composed by the pain
C#m            G#m      A
This song is a second edition
C#m        G#m        A
Working in parts of a whole
C#m                  G#m       A
And now through each painful revision
C#m          G#m          A
I sing it is well with my soul

B       A        B       C#m  B  A
Take my will and make it yours
            B                             C#m      B  A
I'm finding joy in the way that my sorrow moves me
          B                        C#m    B  A
I feel it more in the way my heart aches
           B                 C#m               B  A
I'm comforted even in that I know you know me

                        B              A
And I think this is the composer's way
                        B              A
And I think this is the composer's way
                       B              A
And I think this is the composer's way
                        B              A
And I think this is the composer's way
