Write It Out Chords

Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

D

DYeah I try to write it out, not sF♯ure what I recall

 I cBan’t tell if it’s memory or stGory telling now

DIt happened very quickly but it sF♯eemed to last for hours

 And Beverything was crisp and clean till Gall came crashing down

 So much Efire and debGris that I was nearly blDind with panic,

 and thBere was no one anywGhere to tuDrn to be saved

 from the tByranny and cavaGlcade. AndE all use was lGost.

And the more that I would struggle, the more that I became entwined

And the thickets & the thorns became my flesh and I was vine.

Creeping deep into the pavement, breaking ground as I grew fast

To the center of the city and up again where I did gasp

in the air or the breeze and I was still alive with a start

And there were people everywhere to behold and admire

And I longed to be one of them and though I was lost

I felt familiar with my surroundings, though they didn’t look quite right

Like someplace that I had been before, under cover of night.

And I found my way by light of day to the center of a crowd

and told them I was one of them and begged them for their help.

And with stones they took their aim, and I knew I would die at their hands

Where I was crowned a heretic to be loathed and set fire and laid upon a

pyre of fire

And as I cast my eyes to the sky I felt your touch,

so gentle and so soothing that I knew I had been saved,

but my movements were so labored and my will had been betrayed

But my lips they work alone now and to them I am enslaved.

And the slightest indiscretions that I made were met with rage

And I burned to be free and then you rescued me

with your voice and beckoned me beside you and your touch was alive.

Sensational and vibrant and with care and your words

 You say “DSleep it is a stealthy thing, you caF♯nnot know its plans.

 You wereB only dreaming, dear, and now hGere with me again.”

 You aDsk if I’d account to you the spF♯irit of my night

 And you Bhanded me this pad and this pGen with which to write.

 While it’s fEresh in your mGind.
