The Writer chords by Maisie Peters

Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E)

🎸 Verse 1:
D
Do you want me to write you in

Dust off all your features
         A
Make you perfect
             G
Not that you need it

You’re effortlessly illustrated
 A
Colourfully fated for my pen

🎸 Verse 2:
               D
I can show you how

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

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


🎸 Pre-Chorus 1:
      Bm
And I know
           G
That paper hearts are fast to break
             Bm
So don’t you go
A
Away


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


🎸 Verse 3:
     D
It's picturesque you’re nothing less
                                A
Than a hero from a storybook or five
                                                     G
Think you were made for filling hearts and shoes and time

Think I was made so I could do you justice
 A
Don’t trust anybody else

To write you half as well as I


🎸 Pre-Chorus 2:
     Bm
Will try-y-y-y-y
            G
To find the perfect shade of emerald
         Bm          A
For your ey-y-y-y-ye eyes


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

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


🎸 Pre-Chorus 3:
            Bm
'Cause I’ll never not believe in you
     G
I’ll always see your best
       Bm
Loving you is a religion
    A
I’m devout I must confess


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