  Em                                      Am
I write the lines you want me to with the words I dare to use of all
    D                             G               D/F#
the ones that you have taught me along the years..

    Em                           Am          
You cast a perfect shadow on the paper.  Fade away with sunlight
  D                                  G              D/F#
I Fear the way you know me, love can leave a stain..

    Em                             Am
You steal my only hope and make me stay awake another night..
  D                                   G               D/F#
I wish you bare with me, stay near me when the autumn leaves have fallen
C                                 Am
Solitude, my pain, the last thing left of me..


       Em        Bm             C         G
If you fall I'll catch.. If you love I'll love,
    D/F#  Em       Bm              C                 G
And so it goes, my dear.. Don't be scared- you'll be safe,
D/F#   C             Dadd11 
this I swear, if you only love me..


Em                            Am                            
..Seven lonely lies written on Deadwinters night
         D                                  G     D/F#
Open the only book with the only poem I can read..

   Em                                Am
In blood I sign my name and seal the midnight with a tear..
C                              Am
Burn the paper, every line for them I cried..


       Em        Bm             C         G
If you fall I'll catch.. If you love I'll love,
    D/F#  Em       Bm              C                 G
And so it goes, my dear.. Don't be scared- you'll be safe,
D/F#   C             Dadd11       Em
this I swear, if you only love me back..


(Em)                   G          D/F#
I am the Playwrite and you are my Crown..
        C                             G         D/F# 
Make me cry for your love like you've done many times
     Em                            G             D/F#
so I know I can't write these storylines without you
     C                              G           D/F#            Em
Lady Pain, make me strong, can't we be together without them forever?


Em  Bm  C  G  D/F#
Em  Bm  C  G  D/F#   ..C  Dadd11


    Em                               Am
The words I write can only hurt me.. sorry for the rain
D                                  G          D/F#
Thank you my only one, you gave me this pain..
  Em                             Am
I leave you gently on the floor, take one step towards the door.
C                                 Am
Where's the letter never written, good night now..


       Em        Bm             C         G
If you fall I'll catch.. If you love I'll love,
    D/F#  Em       Bm              C                 G
And so it goes, my dear.. Don't be scared- you'll be safe,
D/F#   C             Dadd11 
this I swear, if you only love me..
       Em        Bm             C         G
If you fall I'll catch.. If you love I'll love,
    D/F#  Em       Bm              C                 G
And so it goes, my dear.. Don't be scared- you'll be safe,
D/F#   C             Dadd11       Em
this I swear, if you only love me back..
