Intro (whistling): C#  F#m E G F Bb 

C                  G        D 
Obsession it takes control, 
C            F    C        G D 
Obsession it eats me whole, 
Em              D         G 
I can't say the words out loud, 
Em                    D    C 
So in a rhyme I wrote you down, 
                            D    G 
Now you'll live through the ages, 
      C                      D       C 
I can feel your pulse in the pages. 

     G         D 
          Whoa      Whoa oa 
        C          G 
I have written you down, 
        Em           D 
Now you will live forever, 
    C                  G 
And all the world will read you, 
    Em               D 
And you will live forever, 
   C               Em 
In eyes not yet created, 
   C                    G 
On tongues that are not born, 
       C           G 
I have written you down, 
    Em               D 
Now you will live forever. 



Whistling: Em G Em D 
F    C                  G       D 
Your body lies upon the sheets, 
C        F   C              D 
Of paper and words so sweet, 
Em       D      G 
I can't say the words, 
Em             D       G 
So I wrote you into my verse, 
C                           D   G 
Now you'll live through the ages, 
      C                      D      C 
I can feel your pulse in the pages. 



C 
I have read her with these eyes, 
     Em 
I've read her with these eyes,            
       G                      D 
I have held her in these hands. 

F      C             G 
I have written you down,          
    Em               D 
Now you will live forever,          
    C              G 
The virtues in the verse,        
    Em 
And you will live forever.
