[Intro] (whistling): 
C C G G Em Em D/F# D/F#


C C G G Em Em D/F# D/F#
Obsession it takes control,
C C G G Em Em D/F# D/F#
Obsession it eats me whole,
Em Em D/F# D/F# G G
I can't say the words out loud,
Em Em D/F# D/F# G G
So in a rhyme I wrote you down,
C C D D G G
Now you'll live through the ages,
C C D D G G
I can feel your pulse in the pages.


C C G G D/F# D/F#
Whoa, whoa-oa


C C G G
I have written you down,
Em Em D D
Now you will live forever,
C C G G
And all the world will read you,
Em Em D D
And you will live forever,
C C Em Em
In eyes not yet created,
C C G G
On tongues that are not born,
C C G G
I have written you down,
Em Em D D
Now you will live forever.


Whistling:
C C G G Em Em D/F# D/F#


C C G G Em Em D/F# D/F#
Your body lies upon the sheets,
C C G G Em Em D/F# D/F#
Of paper and words so sweet,
Em Em D/F# D/F# G G
I can't say the words,
Em Em D/F# D/F# G G
So I wrote you into my verse,
C C D D G G
Now you'll live through the ages,
C C D D G G
I can feel your pulse in the pages.


C C G G D/F# D/F#
Whoa, whoa-oa


C C G G
I have written you down,
Em Em D D
Now you will live forever,
C C G G
And all the world will read you,
Em Em D D
And you will live forever,
C C Em Em
In eyes not yet created,
C C G G
On tongues that are not born,
C C G G
I have written you down,
Em Em D D
Now you will live forever.


C C
I have read her with these eyes,
Em Em
I've read her with these eyes,
G G D/F# D/F#
I have held her in these hands.


C C G G
I have written you down,
Em Em D D
Now you will live forever,
C C G G
The virtues in the verse,
Em Em D D
And you will live forever,


C C G G
I have written you down,
Em Em D D
Now you will live forever,
C C G G
And all the world will read you,
Em Em D D
And you will live forever,
C C Em Em
In eyes not yet created,
C C G G
On tongues that are not born,
C C G G
I have written you down,
Em Em D D
Now you will live forever.


[Outro] (whistling):
C C G G

Em Em D/F# D/F# (G G)
You will live forever
