INTRO: Em   D   Em   D 

 
verse 1 
 
Em 
Here's the page  
D 
Here's the pen  
Em                     D             C 
Here's those same damn chords again  
            D 
Can I do it one more time?  
C                D 
Make it work and make it rhyme?  

 
verse 2 

       Em 
'Cause here's the page  
D 
Here's the pen  
    Em               D 
I'm locked up in the same dark den  
C                    D 
Here's the mortgage, here's the bills  
C                D 
Here's the bad review that kills you  

 
verse 3 
 
Em                D 
Here's the words, here's the thrill  
Em                D 
Here's the story, use your skill  
C                   D 
Here's the tune and here's the twist  
C             D 
Who's the escapologist  
    C                D 
And still that same idealist  
     C               G       D 
This is the one they can't resist, then 

verse 4 
 
Em               D 
Here's the page, here's the pen  
Em                     D             C 
Here's those same damn chords again  
            D               C 
Can I do it one more time?  
                 D 
Make it work and make it rhyme?  
       Em 
‘Cause here's the page 
           D 
Here's the pen 
 
OUTRO 
 
Em   D 
    Em 
The page  
    D     Em
