WRITTEN INVITATION - a rough layout

(A augmentedA - A7A7 - D MajorD - DmDm)
Freeze me with your smile and say my name.
And I'm already gone.

(D MajorD - B minorBm - D MajorD - B minorBm)
If you're on the 118, I'll find you on the 118.

(A augmentedA - A7A7 - D MajorD - DmDm)
And if you want, I'll talk.
And break my head. The spotlight stares in off.

(D MajorD - B minorBm - B minorBm)
If you're on the 118, I'll find you on the 118.

(A augmentedA - Dsus2/B - Dsus2/A - D MajorD - A augmentedA - Dsus2/B - Dsus2/A - D MajorD)
I swear I care what you wear.
All your thoughts rolled up and down your sleeves.
And I need to see a written invitation please.
(A augmentedA - E MajorE)

(A augmentedA - A7A7 - D MajorD - DmDm)
So if you are my fire, then yell my name.
And up, I'm ready on.

(D MajorD - B minorBm - D MajorD B minorBm)
If you're on the 118, I'll find you on the 118.

(A augmentedA - Dsus2/B - Dsus2/A - D MajorD - A augmentedA - Dsus2/B - Dsus2/A - D MajorD)
I swear I care what you wear.
All your thoughts rolled up and down your sleeves.
And I need to see a written invitation please.
Yeah I need to see a written invitation please.
Yeah I need to see a written invitation
(A augmentedA - E MajorE)
