🎶 Writer In the Dark

[Cb]Break the news, you're walking out
[A#]To be a good man for someone else
[Cb]Sorry I was never good like [A#]you [Cmaj7]

[Cb]Stood on my chest and kept me down
[A#]Hated hearing my name on the lips of a crowd
[Cb]Did my best to exist just for [A#]you

Bet you rue the [Cb]day you kissed a writer in the [A#]dark
Bet you rue the [Cb]day you kissed a writer in the [A#]dark
Now she's gonna [Cb]play and sing and lock you in her [A#]heart
Bet you rue the [Cb]day you kissed a [A#]writer in the [Db]dark

[Db]I am my mother's child, I'll [Bb]love you 'til my [D#]breathing stops
I'll [Bb]love you 'til you [D#]call the cops on [Cb]me
[Db]But in our darkest hours, I [Bb]stumbled on a [D#]secret power
I'll [Bb]find a way to [D#]be without you, [Cb]babe

[Cb]I still feel you, now and then
[A#]Slow like pseudoephedrine
[Cb]When you see me, will you say I've [A#]changed? [Cmaj7]

[Cb]I ride the subway, read the signs
I [A#]let the seasons change my mind
I [Db]love it here since I've stopped needing [Cb]you

Bet you rue the [Cb]day you kissed a writer in the [A#]dark
Bet you rue the [Cb]day you kissed a writer in the [A#]dark
Now she's gonna [Cb]play and sing and lock you in her [A#]heart
Bet you rue the [Cb]day you kissed a [A#]writer in the [Db]dark

[Db]I am my mother's child, I'll [Bb]love you 'til my [D#]breathing stops
I'll [Bb]love you 'til you [D#]call the cops on [Cb]me
[Db]But in our darkest hours, I [Bb]stumbled on a [D#]secret power
I'll [Bb]find a way to [D#]be without you, [Cb]babe

[Db] I am my mother's child, I'll [Bb]love you 'til my [D#]breathing stops
I'll [Bb]love you 'til you [D#]call the cops on [Cb]me
[Db] But in our darkest hours, I [Bb]stumbled on a [D#]secret power
I'll [Bb]find a way to [D#]be without you, [Cb]babe
[Db] [Bb] [D#] [Bb] [D#] [Cb] [Db] [Bb] [D#] [Bb] [D#] [Cb] ⠀
