🎶 Writer In the Dark

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

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

Bet you rue the [D]day you kissed a writer in the [C]dark
Bet you rue the [D]day you kissed a writer in the [C]dark
Now she's gonna [D]play and sing and lock you in her [C]heart
Bet you rue the [D]day you kissed a [C]writer in the [G]dark

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

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

[D]I ride the subway, read the signs
I [C]let the seasons change my mind
I [G]love it here since I've stopped needing [D]you

Bet you rue the [D]day you kissed a writer in the [C]dark
Bet you rue the [D]day you kissed a writer in the [C]dark
Now she's gonna [D]play and sing and lock you in her [C]heart
Bet you rue the [D]day you kissed a [C]writer in the [G]dark

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

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