Intro: E B G#m F#   
 
E        B          G#m    F#   
Obsession it takes control,
E        B            G#m   F#   
Obsession it eats me whole,
G#m               F#         B
I can't say the words out loud,
G#m                F#        B
So in a rhyme I wrote you down,
E                           F# B
Now you'll live through the ages,
       E                      F# B 
I can feel your pulse in the pages.
 
 
E  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.
 
Interlude: E B G#m F#   
 
E          B              G#m  F#   
Your body lies upon the sheets,
E       B           G#m     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# B 
I can feel your pulse in the pages.

     G#m              F#
And you will live forever,
   E              G#m
In eyes not yet created,
