Intro: E B Abm Gb   

E        B          Abm    Gb   
Obsession it takes control,
E        B            Abm   Gb   
Obsession it eats me whole,
Abm               Gb         B
I can't say the words out loud,
Abm                Gb        B
So in a rhyme I wrote you down,
E                           Gb B
Now you'll live through the ages,
       E                      Gb B 
I can feel your pulse in the pages.


E  B     Gb   
  Whoa, whoa-oa
 

         E          B
I have written you down,
     Abm              Gb
Now you will live forever,
    E                   B
And all the world will read you,
     Abm              Gb
And you will live forever,
   E              Abm
In eyes not yet created,
    E                    B
On tongues that are not born,
         E          B
I have written you down,
     Abm              Gb
Now you will live forever.

Interlude: E B Abm Gb   

E          B              Abm  Gb   
Your body lies upon the sheets,
E       B           Abm     Gb   
Of paper and words so sweet,
Abm       Gb       B
I can't say the words,
Abm             Gb        B
So I wrote you into my verse,
E                           Gb B
Now you'll live through the ages,
       E                      Gb B 
I can feel your pulse in the pages.

On tongues that are not born,
