Bastille – Poet (Ukulele)

E        B          Abm    Gb   
Obsession it takes control,

E        B            Abm   Gb   
Obsession it eats me whole,

Abm               Gb         B
I can't say the words out loud,

Abm                Gb        B
So in a rhyme I wrote you down,

E                           Gb B
Now you'll live through the ages,

       E                      Gb B 
I can feel your pulse in the pages.

E  B     Gb   
  Whoa, whoa-oa

         E          B
I have written you down,

     Abm              Gb
Now you will live forever,

    E                   B
And all the world will read you,

     Abm              Gb
And you will live forever,

   E              Abm
In eyes not yet created,

    E                    B
On tongues that are not born,

         E          B
I have written you down,

     Abm              Gb
Now you will live forever.

E          B              Abm  Gb   
Your body lies upon the sheets,

E       B           Abm     Gb   
Of paper and words so sweet,

Abm       Gb       B
I can't say the words,

Abm             Gb        B
So I wrote you into my Verse,

E                           Gb B
Now you'll live through the ages,

       E                      Gb B 
I can feel your pulse in the pages.

E  B     Gb   
  Whoa, whoa-oa

         E          B
I have written you down,

     Abm              Gb
Now you will live forever,

    E                   B
And all the world will read you,

     Abm              Gb
And you will live forever,

   E              Abm
In eyes not yet created,

    E                    B
On tongues that are not born,

         E          B
I have written you down,

     Abm              Gb
Now you will live forever.

E
I have read her with these eyes,

      Abm
I've read her with these eyes,           

        B                 Gb   
I have held her in these hands.

         E          B
I have written you down,

     Abm              Gb
Now you will live forever,        

     E              B

And you will live forever,

   E              Abm
In eyes not yet created,

    E                    B
On tongues that are not born,

Now you will live forever.

You will live forever
