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# 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. Chorus: 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. Your body lies upon the sheets Of paper, and words so sweet I can't say the words So I wrote you into my verse Now you live through the ages I can feel your pulse in the pages Chorus E I have read her with these eyes G#m I have read her with these eyes B F# I have held her in these hands...
