By Bastille     Capo 4

Intro (whistling): C# F#m E G F Bb

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

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

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

Chorus

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

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

Chorus

B          A G
You will live forever
