The Writer Lyrics 

F#m / x 2
              / A  /

 You wait for a silence I wait for a word 
Lie next to your frame
 Girl unobserved 
You change your position
 And you are changing me
 Casting these shadows 
Where they shouldn't be
  We're interrupted by the heat of the sun
 Trying to prevent what's already begun
 You're just a body
 I can smell your skin
 And when I feel it, you're wearing thin

🎸

 But I've got a plan


A / x 2
    / Esus  /

 Why don't you be the artist; and make me out of clay?
 Why don't you be the writer and decide the words I say?
 Because I'd rather pretend I'll still be there at the end
 Only it's too hard to ask... won't you try to help me

/ F#m /

  Sat on your

sofa...it's all broken springs 
This isn't the place for those violin strings
 I try out a smile and I aim it at you
 You must have missed it 
You always do  But I've got a plan
 Why don't you be the artist; and make me out of clay?
 Why don't you be the writer and decide the words I say?
 Because I'd rather pretend
 I'll still be there at the end 
Only it's too hard to ask... won't you try to help me


3/4 : / F#m / x 3
          / E /  

You wait, I wait, casting shadows, interrupted 
You wait, I wait, casting shadows, interrupted
 You wait, I wait, casting shadows   

Why don't you be the artist; and make me out of clay?
 Why don't you be the writer and decide the words I say?
 Because I'd rather pretend I'll still be there at the end
 Only it's too hard to ask... won't you try to help me   
Why don't you be the artist; and make me out of clay? 
Why don't you be the writer and decide the words I say? 
Because I'd rather pretend I'll still be there at the end 
Only it's too hard to ask... won't you try to help me
