Chords with lyrics

Tuning: Standard (Chord diagramE MajorE Chord diagramA augmentedA Chord diagramD MajorD Chord diagramG+G Chord diagramBB Chord diagramE MajorE)

🎸 Verse 1:
Chord diagramD MajorD
Do you want me to write you in

Dust off all your features
     Chord diagramA augmentedA
Make you perfect
       Chord diagramG+G
Not that you need it

You’re effortlessly illustrated
 Chord diagramA augmentedA
Colourfully fated for my pen

🎸 Verse 2:
        Chord diagramD MajorD
I can show you how

The world is so much brighter when
          Chord diagramA augmentedA
The writer gets to turn it
                         Chord diagramG+G
I’ll give you wings although you say you don’t deserve it

You were definitely made
       Chord diagramA augmentedA
For felt tip sonnets that I’ve kept in way too long


🎸 Pre-Chorus 1:
   Chord diagramB minorBm
And I know
      Chord diagramG+G
That paper hearts are fast to break
       Chord diagramB minorBm
So don’t you go
Chord diagramA augmentedA
Away


🎸 Chorus:
   Chord diagramD MajorD
Oh my god, I think you’ve really done it this time
   Chord diagramB minorBm                 Chord diagramA augmentedA
Oh my god, don’t think that I can make it back
       Chord diagramB minorBm
But could you hold on just a little
    Chord diagramG+G
While I sequence all my scribbles
   Chord diagramD MajorD                  Chord diagramA augmentedA
Into novels filled with stars I’ll never send
             Chord diagramG+G       Chord diagramG minorGm
'Cause I’m essentially a write-er-er-er-erer
             Chord diagramD MajorD
Who never makes it to the end
🎸 Verse 3:
   Chord diagramD MajorD
It's picturesque you’re nothing less
                Chord diagramA augmentedA
Than a hero from a storybook or five
                           Chord diagramG+G
Think you were made for filling hearts and shoes and time

Think I was made so I could do you justice
 Chord diagramA augmentedA
Don’t trust anybody else

To write you half as well as I


🎸 Pre-Chorus 2:
   Chord diagramB minorBm
Will try-y-y-y-y
      Chord diagramG+G
To find the perfect shade of emerald
     Chord diagramB minorBm     Chord diagramA augmentedA
For your ey-y-y-y-ye eyes


🎸 Chorus:
Chord diagramD MajorD
Oh my god, I think you’ve really done it this time
   Chord diagramB minorBm                 Chord diagramA augmentedA
Oh my god, don’t think that I can make it back
       Chord diagramB minorBm
But could you hold on just a little
    Chord diagramG+G
While I sequence all my scribbles
   Chord diagramD MajorD                  Chord diagramA augmentedA
Into novels filled with stars I’ll never send
             Chord diagramG+G       Chord diagramG minorGm
'Cause I’m essentially a write-er-er-er-erer
             Chord diagramD MajorD
Who never makes it to the end

🎸 Bridge:
   Chord diagramG+G
And maybe when it’s over
     Chord diagramB minorBm
When the final page is turned
       Chord diagramD MajorD
You won’t be perfect
    Chord diagramA augmentedA
Just be you
         Chord diagramG+G                Chord diagramD MajorD
The boy who likes bands with stupid names and high-brow views
  Chord diagramG+G
And maybe when I’m finished
     Chord diagramB minorBm
I’ll look down at the image
    Chord diagramD MajorD       Chord diagramA augmentedA         Chord diagramG+G
Oh, and magic will be seeping from your finger tips
     Chord diagramD MajorD
Somehow I doubt it


🎸 Pre-Chorus 3:
      Chord diagramB minorBm
'Cause I’ll never not believe in you
   Chord diagramG+G
I’ll always see your best
    Chord diagramB minorBm
Loving you is a religion
  Chord diagramA augmentedA
I’m devout I must confess


🎸 Chorus:
Chord diagramD MajorD
Oh my god, I think you’ve really done it this time
   Chord diagramB minorBm                 Chord diagramA augmentedA
Oh my god, don’t think that I can make it back
       Chord diagramB minorBm
But could you hold on just a little
    Chord diagramG+G
While I sequence all my scribbles
   Chord diagramD MajorD                  Chord diagramA augmentedA
Into novels filled with stars I’ll never send
             Chord diagramG+G       Chord diagramG minorGm
'Cause I’m essentially a write-er-er-er-erer
             Chord diagramD MajorD
Who never makes it to the end
