Intro
E B F#
Obsession it takes control,
E B F#
Obsession it eats me whole,
G#m F# B
I can't say the words out loud,
G#m F# E
So in a rhyme I wrote you down,
F# B
Now you'll live through the ages,
E F# E
I can feel your pulse in the pages.
[Chorus]
B F#
Whoa Whoa oa
E B
I have written you down,
G#m F#
Now you will live forever,
E B
And all the world will read you,
G#m F#
And you will live forever,
E G#m
In eyes not yet created,
E B
On tongues that are not born,
E B
I have written you down,
G#m F#
Now you will live forever.
[Whistling: G#m B G#m D]
E B F#
Your body lies upon the sheets,
E B F#
Of paper and words so sweet,
G#m F# B
I can't say the words,
G#m F# B
So I wrote you into my verse,
E F# B
Now you'll live through the ages,
E F# E
I can feel your pulse in the pages.
[Chorus]
E
I have read her with these eyes,
G#m
I've read her with these eyes,
B F#
I have held her in these hands.
E B
I have written you down,
G#m F#
Now you will live forever,

The virtues in the verse,
G#m
And you will live forever.
[Chorus]

You will live forever
