Obsession it takes control,
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]

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,

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.

Of paper and words so sweet,

Now you'll live through the ages,
C D C
I can feel your pulse in the pages.

I have read her with these eyes,

I've read her with these eyes,

I have held her in these hands.

And you will live forever.
