Writer In The Dark

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

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

Pre-Refrão 1 
                D                              C 
Bet you rue the day you kissed a writer in the dark 
                D                              C 
Bet you rue the day you kissed a writer in the dark 
                D                                 C 
Now she's gonna play and sing and lock you in her heart 
                D                C             G 
Bet you rue the day you kissed a writer in the dark 


[Refrão]

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

Verso 2 
D 
  I still feel you, now and then 
C 
  Slow like pseudoephedrine 
D                                    C        Cmaj7 
  When you see me, will you say I've changed? 

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

                D                                 C
