Chords with lyrics

Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E)

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

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

You’re effortlessly illustrated
 A augmentedA
Colourfully fated for my pen

🎸 Verse 2:
               D MajorD
I can show you how

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

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


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


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

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

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

To write you half as well as I


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


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

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


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


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