[Intro]
Fmaj7 Fadd9 Am7 G/B C Gadd11
[Verse 1]
Fmaj7 Am7
A book by a cover,
Am7 G/B
Do you ever wonder,
C
What’s underneath,
Gadd11
Or would you never read.
[Verse 2]
Fmaj7
From stranger to lover,
Am7
What it is to love her,
G/B C
I’ll never know,
Gadd11
And it’s killing it slowly.
[Pre-Chorus 1]
Fmaj7 Gadd11
You’re my daydream and nightmare,
Am7
You freeze time,
D/F#
But you’re still unaware,
F Fadd9
If I looked your way,
Fm Fm*
Would your love go away?
[Chorus]
Fadd9
You’re the pen,
Am7 G/B C
And I’m just calligraphy,
Gadd11 Fadd9
On the pages that you’ll never read,
Am7 G/B C
If I had cried at all the lyrics and melodies,
Gadd11 Fadd9 Fmaj7
To the songs that I won’t get to sing with you.
[Verse 3]
Fmaj7
I keep falling faster,
Am7
He’s harder to catch,
G/B C Gadd11
He noticed me here as a silently shattered,
Fmaj7
A perfect disaster,
Am7
When I’m walking past him,
G/B C
Nothing remains,
Gadd11
But the love I chased after.
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Fmaj7 Gadd11
I wish you could see who I am,
Am7 D/F#
But you just don’t understand,
F Fadd9
That I look your way,
Fm Fm*
And you look away.
[Chorus]
Fadd9
You’re the pen,
Am7 G/B C
And I’m just calligraphy,
Gadd11 Fadd9
On the pages that you’ll never read,
Am7 G/B C
If I had cried at all the lyrics and melodies,
Gadd11 Fadd9 Fmaj7
To the songs that I won’t get to sing with you,
Gadd11
I wish you knew,
Fadd9
The words too long,
Gadd11
To end.
[Interlude]
Am7 Fmaj7
Aaah oooh . . .
C
I wish you knew,
Gadd11
I wish you knew,
Am7 Fmaj7 C Gadd11
Aaah oooh, oooh, oooh oooh.
[Outro]
Fmaj7 Fadd9
You’re the pen,
Am7 G/B C
And I’m just calligraphy,
Gadd11 Fadd9
On the pages that you’ll never read,
Am7 G/B C
If I had cried at all the lyrics and melodies,
Gadd11 Fadd9 Fadd9
To the songs that I won’t get to sing with you--ou.
