Verse: D Break the news, you're walking out C To be a good man for someone else D C Cmaj7 Sorry I was never good like you D Stood on my chest and kept me down C Hated hearing my name on the lips of a crowd D C Did my best to exist just for you Pre-chorus: D C Bet you rue the day you kissed a writer in the dark D C Bet you rue the day you kissed a writer in the dark D C Now she's gonna play and sing and lock you in her heart D C G Bet you rue the day you kissed a writer in the dark Chorus: G Am Em I am my mother's child, I'll love you 'til my breathing stops Am Em D I'll love you 'til you call the cops on me G Am Em But in our darkest hours, I stumbled on a secret power Am Em D I'll find a way to be without you, babe Verse: D I still feel you, now and then C Slow like pseudoephedrine D C Cmaj7 When you see me, will you say I've changed? D I ride the subway, read the signs C I let the seasons change my mind G D I love it here since I've stopped needing you Pre-chorus: D C Bet you rue the day you kissed a writer in the dark D C Bet you rue the day you kissed a writer in the dark D C Now she's gonna play and sing and lock you in her heart D C G Bet you rue the day you kissed a writer in the dark Chorus: G Am Em I am my mother's child, I'll love you 'til my breathing stops Am Em D I'll love you 'til you call the cops on me G Am Em But in our darkest hours, I stumbled on a secret power Am Em D I'll find a way to be without you, babe Chorus: G Am Em I am my mother's child, I'll love you 'til my breathing stops Am Em D I'll love you 'til you call the cops on me G Am Em But in our darkest hours, I stumbled on a secret power Am Em D I'll find a way to be without you, babe Outro (x2): G Am Em Am Em D This arrangement is its contributor’s own interpretation, shared for private study, education and non-commercial use.

How to play Writer In The Dark on ukulele
The strumming pattern that fits is the whole-bar ballad: d – – –. It rolls along at a relaxed pace of around 72 bpm. On this page the song is in G major. Nothing scary in the shapes, it sits on the easy ukulele songs list at the rookie level. Let each chord ring a full bar and follow the vocal's rise.
